The New York Yankees have the advantage in the American League Championship Series after downing the Cleveland Guardians 5-2 to take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Juan Soto got things started for the Yankees with a solo home run in the bottom of the third to make it 1-0.
New York then used a pair of pitching mishaps to get on the board in the third as Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton came across the plate on two wild pitches from Joey Cantillo. In the fourth, Judge added to the lead with a sac fly that brought Gleyber Torres home.
