Yankees Advance to World Series After ALCS Win

Juan Soto's clutch three-run homer in the 10th inning propelled the New York Yankees to a 5-2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians, clinching their 41st World Series appearance and first in 15 years. The Yankees initially trailed but tied the game in the sixth inning with Giancarlo Stanton's home run, showcasing his pivotal role throughout the ALCS. Soto's hit not only secured the win but highlighted his significance in the Yankees' postseason success since being acquired in December. The Yankees will now face either the Los Angeles Dodgers or New York Mets in the World Series, with the Dodgers holding a narrow series lead. Meanwhile, the Guardians' season ends, extending their World Series drought to 76 years. The Yankees aim for their 28th title in franchise history as the championship series approaches.
