The entirety of the top of the sixth inning of Game 2 of the American League Division Series, published by MLB's official channel, shows the Chicago White Sox rallying to take the lead against the Cleveland Guardians on October 5. Chicago won the game 4-3 to move within one win of the series, on a night when their pitching retired thirteen straight batters at one stretch.
A full rally inning is a different artefact from a home-run clip. The Guardians led 2-0 at home and had their crowd; the inning turned on a sequence of at-bats that built on each other before the double that scored two and the single that added another. October baseball rewards this kind of accumulation, because the pitching is too good for repeated power. The White Sox' pitching story ran in parallel: after falling behind early, Chicago's staff shut the game down, and the thirteen consecutive batters retired reported from the game is the statistical shadow of this inning. Cleveland, to their credit, treated the loss as a scheduling problem rather than a verdict and won the next two. The rally remains the series' best single inning of offence under pressure.
