José Ramírez did what José Ramírez does — he absolutely RAKED in a big game. The Cleveland Guardians star went 2-for-5 with a home run, 3 RBI, and 2 runs scored as the Guardians crushed the Chicago White Sox 9–5 in Game 4 of the American League Division Series on Thursday night.
The Guardians put together a strong team effort, plating nine runs and never letting the White Sox feel comfortable after taking the lead. With this win, Cleveland puts the White Sox in a really tough spot in the series. Ramírez has been one of baseball's most consistent superstars for years, and he showed up when it mattered most on a playoff stage. The man is simply built different in October!
The White Sox, who finished the regular season at 84–78, put up a fight with 5 runs of their own, but Cleveland was just too hot to handle. The Guardians (85–77 during the regular season) are playing some of their best baseball of the year at exactly the right time. Keep an eye on this one, Jacob — playoff baseball is the BEST!
Just one game was played Thursday in baseball, but it was a big one! The Cleveland Guardians dominated Game 4 of the American League Division Series, beating the White Sox 9–5. José Ramírez was the star of the show with his homer and 3 RBI. Cleveland is making a serious run at advancing in the playoffs!

Irving had a MONSTER game on the ground, carrying the ball 21 times for 165 yards and a touchdown. That's a HUGE night! The Bucs improve to 1–4 on the season while the Cowboys fall to 2–3 and continue to struggle in the NFC East.
