CLEVELAND -- Juan Soto hit a three-run homer with two outs in the 10th inning and the New York Yankees advanced to their 41st World Series -- and first in 15 years -- by beating the Cleveland Guardians 5-2 in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday night.

Baseball's biggest brand is going back to October's main stage.

Soto, who was acquired in a seven-player trade with San Diego in December, moved the Bronx Bombers into position with one big swing against Hunter Gaddis.
