The New York Yankees are going to the World Series after beating the Cleveland Guardians 5-2 in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday.

The New York Yankees are heading to the World Series for the first time since 2009 thanks in large measure to a 10-inning home run from Juan Soto.  The Yankees defeated the Cleveland Guardians 5-2 in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday night and with the win claimed the series by a count of 4-1.

CLEVELAND — It was a moment 15 years in the making, a deep drive that cut through the October sky, climbing high and far and landing in the World Series. The Yankees acquired Juan Soto last winter to return them to the stage they once owned. Saturday in Cleveland, he delivered on that dream.
