The New York Yankees are on the cusp of reaching their first World Series since 2009, but they have to get past a Cleveland Guardians team that has shown some offensive life in the past two games. While Cleveland triumphed in Game 3, they couldn't quite complete the comeback in Friday night's Game 4 loss, leaving them vulnerable to elimination in Saturday's Game 5 in Cleveland.
LHP Carlos Rodón is on the mound for the Yankees and looking to build on his impressive outing in Game 1, in which he pitched six innings, gave up just one run and struck out nine.
