A night after racking up two hits, a triple and two RBI in a 9-3 win that kept Cleveland's season alive, Ramirez delivered again Thursday, homering and driving in three runs as the Guardians beat the White Sox 9-5.\n\nThat win forces a winner-take-all Game 5, with the series shifting back to Cleveland on Saturday night. The Guardians had faced elimination entering Game 3, but their offense has suddenly come alive at the right moment, with Ramirez leading the charge in back-to-back games.\n\nManager Stephen Vogt praised Ramirez's performance after Game 3, saying the team always knows he is one swing away from changing a game, calling him one of the best players in the league because of his ability to hurt opponents.\n\nCleveland's bats have carried the team through consecutive wins to even the series. Now the Guardians and White Sox will settle the ALDS in a single game, with a trip to the next round on the line.","published_at":"2026-10-10T16:20:28.847621+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Guardians’ Stephen Vogt gets brutally honest on Jose Ramirez’s huge Game 3 vs. White Sox","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/guardians-stephen-vogt-gets-brutally-034158695.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Ramirez launches another clutch HR as Guardians force winner-take-all Game 5","url":"https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/50137741/ramirez-guardians-top-white-sox-force-decisive-game-5-alds"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Suddenly powerful, Guardians pound away at White Sox to force winner-take-all Game 5","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7670196/2026/10/08/white-sox-guardians-game-4-score-results-takeaways-mlb-alds-2026/"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Guardians crush White Sox to force winner-take-all ALDS Game 5","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/09/sports/guardians-crush-white-sox-to-force-winner-take-all-alds-game-5/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Guardians make huge Gavin Williams decision for Game 4 vs. White Sox","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/guardians-huge-gavin-williams-decision-233139948.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jose Ramirez gets Guardians lead with massive HR amid fight for ALDS survival","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jose-ramirez-gets-guardians-lead-032116287.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Chicago White Sox again fail to KO Guardians, who win 9-5 to force Game 5 on Saturday in Cleveland","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/chicago-white-sox-again-fail-034900359.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"José Ramírez homers as the Guardians beat the White Sox 9-5 to force a decisive Game 5 in ALDS","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jos-ram-rez-homers-guardians-040718799.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"White Sox again fail to KO Guardians, who win 9-5 to force Game 5 on Saturday in Cleveland","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/white-sox-again-fail-ko-035700379.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Column: Best-laid plans go awry for the Chicago White Sox, who now face a do-or-die ALDS Game 5 on the road","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/column-best-laid-plans-awry-054000977.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"White Sox’s Grant Taylor makes Game 5 availability vs. Guardians crystal clear","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/white-sox-grant-taylor-makes-064159647.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Guardians crush White Sox to force winner-take-all ALDS Game 5","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/guardians-crush-white-sox-force-042529208.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"MLB Playoff Roundup: José Ramírez erupts as Guardians force Game 5","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/mlb-playoff-roundup-jos-ram-130000436.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"How Guardians can still win ALDS Game 5 despite Stephen Vogt’s questionable Game 4 decision","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/guardians-still-win-alds-game-162952557.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Why the Chicago White Sox Bullpen Collapse vs. Cleveland in Game Four Was Inevitable","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/why-chicago-white-sox-bullpen-002629866.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Why all White Sox’s Will Venable, Guardians’ Stephen Vogt can do is ‘laugh’ at back-and-forth ALDS","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/why-white-sox-venable-guardians-051830928.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Where to watch Guardians vs. White Sox Game 5: Channel, time, TV schedule, live stream for ALDS","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/where-watch-guardians-vs-white-072001161.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Guardians and White Sox meet in decisive ALDS Game 5","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/guardians-white-sox-meet-decisive-075539634.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Guardians-White Sox predictions.
