Almost There: Chicago On Cusp of LCS Triumph After 2-0 Win
The Chicago White Sox got a strong performance from pitcher Patrick Sandoval, who stymied the Oakland offense en route to a 2-0 win in Game 4 of the League Championship Series. The Athletics could never get a bead on the left-handed Sandoval, who threw 5.1 innings of shutout ball. The White Sox now hold a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-7 series.

Brandon Belt, who finished 5th in the NL in on-base percentage with .364 in 2021, had a direct impact on the outcome. Belt contributed a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put Chicago up, 1-0.

"Nice win for us," said Sandoval. "Now we'll go after the next one."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Oakland Coliseum in Oakland.
