ESPN | Jesse Rogers: The Yankees now know the identity of their Division Series opponent. We’re not going to get a rematch of the 2020 ALDS with the Rays, but we will see New York take on Cleveland in the playoffs for the first time since their Wild Card Series matchup in that same extended postseason (Aaron Judge and a few others were also around for their memorable 2017 ALDS). Oscar Gonzalez’s walk-off homer in the 15th dispatched Tampa Bay with a 1-0 win. The Guardians’ pitching really showed up and dominated the Rays, holding them to just a single run across 24 innings overall, so the Yankees’ bats will need to be prepared for a fight.
