The Cleveland Guardians got a massive 9-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox in Game 3 of the ALDS to extend their season. They’ll have to do the same tonight if they want to force a Game 5. Parker Messick takes to the mound for Cleveland as lefty Hagen Smith gets the start for the White Sox. Chicago hasn’t made it to the American League Championship Series since 2005. Robert Prevost—who is now Pope Leo XIV — was actually cheering them on in the crowd that year as they went on to win the World Series!
