The Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Guardians 4-3 in Game 2 of the American League Division Series at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio, Yonhap reported. The win gave the White Sox a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series and left them one victory from the American League Championship Series, according to the same report. Yonhap said the White Sox won Game 1 by 3-0. [ 2 ]
Chosun Ilbo reported that the White Sox have won four straight games in this postseason, counting a wild-card series against the Houston Astros. Its headline said an ALCS place would be the team's first in 25 years and asked whether the “curse of the Wahoo chief” facing Cleveland continues, while the Newsis headline said an ALCS place would be the team's first in 21 years. The two figures are not reconciled in the documents. [ 3 , 4 ]
The White Sox fell behind in the first inning, Yonhap reported. Starter Anthony Kay gave up a single to Steven Kwan and a walk to José Ramírez, and after a ball that advanced the runners, the White Sox replaced Kay with Sean Newcomb and intentionally walked Jo Adel. Newcomb appeared to end the inning with a ground ball, but an errant throw to first base let two runners score; Yonhap said he prevented further damage. [ 2 ]
The White Sox answered in the second. After a Kyle Teel single up the middle and a Miguel Vargas walk put runners on first and second with no outs, Murakami Munetaka hit a line-drive RBI single to right to make it 1-2, Yonhap reported. With two outs and runners on second and third, Braeden Montgomery pulled the first pitch from left-hander Eric Sabrowski for a two-run double down the right-field line and a 3-2 lead, and Chase Maedros followed with an RBI single to right for 4-2.

In the eighth, with two outs and a runner on first, the White Sox brought in right-hander Grant Taylor, who had pitched four innings two days earlier, Yonhap reported. Taylor gave up an RBI triple to Adel that carried over the left fielder's head, cutting the lead to 4-3, but he did not surrender the lead and closed the ninth without allowing a run. [ 2 ]
Newsis carried Associated Press photographs from the game, including one of catcher Kyle Teel and reliever Grant Taylor encouraging each other after the win and one of Murakami at bat. Its caption described Murakami's second-inning at-bat as a ground ball, while Yonhap described it as an RBI single to right. [ 3 ]
Por qué importa
The White Sox are one victory away from the American League Championship Series, a round they have not reached for more than two decades, according to the Korean outlets. For readers outside the United States the result matters mainly to followers of Major League Baseball and of the players involved. The Korean-language coverage drew on wire copy and agency photographs rather than original reporting.

Aún sin aclarar
- How many years have passed since the White Sox last reached the ALCS. The Newsis headline said an ALCS place would be the team's first in 21 years, while the Chosun Ilbo headline said 25; the documents do not reconcile the two figures.
- The name of the series in one sentence of the Yonhap report. Yonhap's headline and lead call it the American League Division Series, but one sentence refers to the game as an NLDS game, so the abbreviation in that line cannot be treated as a fact.
- How Murakami Munetaka reached base in the second inning. Yonhap described a line-drive RBI single to right, while a Newsis photo caption described the same at-bat as a ground ball; the two accounts differ.
- The final details of the White Sox's wild-card series against the Houston Astros. Chosun Ilbo's feed summary is cut off mid-sentence and gives no result beyond the White Sox having won the series.
