You’ve probably heard this fun fact 500 times in the past 48 hours, but I’ll repeat it here: The White Sox haven’t clinched a postseason series at home since 1906. And while I’d take the under on another 120-year wait for a home clincher, White Sox fans are going to have to sit tight for at least another 24 hours.

Jo Adell cleared the bases with a third-inning triple to put the Guardians on top, and they stayed there thanks to some old-school grit-and-grind ball by José Ramírez. A cavalcade of six relievers just barely kept Chicago at arm’s length through the middle and later innings, and the Guardians stayed alive with a 9-3 win.

Back to that fun fact about the long wait since the last home clincher: If anything, it undersells how woeful the past 120 years of White Sox baseball have been. Game 3 of this year’s ALDS was actually only the fifth potential clincher for the White Sox — in any ballpark — in the past 100 years. The Blue Jays played five would-be clinchers last year alone.
