CLEVELAND, OHIO – OCTOBER 05: Braden Montgomery #24 celebrates with Chase Meidroth #10 after defeating the Cleveland Guardians in game two of the American League Division Series at Progressive Field on October 05, 2026 in Cleveland, Ohio.

The Chicago White Sox are bringing a commanding 2-0 series lead to Rate Field as they face the Cleveland Guardians, and the occasion will absolutely be a historic one. Stunning the baseball world, the White Sox have gone from three consecutive 100-loss seasons to just one victory away from their first trip to the American League Championship Series since 2005.

Needless to say, the occasion is already heavy with significance, but there is something even wilder in store for fans on the South Side Wednesday.time the White Sox have qualified for the MLB playoffs, and also only the sixth time they have ever won a postseason series. As a result, it probably won’t be overly surprising to hear that they don’t often get opportunities to clinch a series in their home ballpark, but you may be shocked to hear how long it’s been.

According to MLB’s Sarah Langs, Game 3 will mark the first time since the 1906 World Series the White Sox have had an opportunity to close out a postseason series in their home ballpark. To put that into context, that means the White Sox never had an opportunity to clinch a playoff series at old Comiskey Park during its entire 80-year history, and are only now getting a chance to do so at Rate Field after more than 30 seasons.

Game 3’s start time has not yet been determined, with the White Sox hosting the Guardians at Rate Field. If the series continues, Game 4 would be played on Thursday.
