For the first time since 2009, the\u00a0New York Yankees\u00a0are going to the World Series. The Yankees outlasted the\u00a0Cleveland Guardians\u00a0in 10 innings in Game 5 of the ALCS on Saturday night (NYY 5, CLE 2 in 10 innings<\/span>) to clinch the American League pennant. They will play either the\u00a0New York Mets\u00a0or\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0in the World Series.<\/p>\n

Juan Soto\u00a0provided the series-clinching blow with his three-run homer in the top of the tenth inning in Game 5. That was not enough to win him ALCS MVP honors, however. Those went to\u00a0Giancarlo Stanton, who hit a game-tying two-run homer in the sixth inning earlier in the game. It was his fourth home run of the series. Stanton was named ALCS MVP after Game 5.<\/p>\n
