    NY Yankees vs Guardians live score, postgame updates for ALCS Game 5

    Vaseline Posted on

    play

    CLEVELAND – This is why the New York Yankees traded for Juan Soto – to bring them a pennant.

    Ten months ago, the Yankees, desperate to add more power and grit to their lineup, worked out Soto, traded him to San Diego and watched him blossom in the New York spotlight.

    And on Saturday night, Soto’s towering three-run homer sent the Yankees to the World Series.

    Soto’s decisive strike in the 10th inning off Cleveland Guardians reliever Hunter Gaddis lifted the Yankees to a 5-2 victory in Game 5 of the best-of-seven AL Championship Series.

    For the first time since 2009, the Yankees will go to the World Series to face the Crosstown Mets or the Los Angeles Dodgers.

    It had been 5,473 days since the Yankees won a pennant, which is virtually an eternity in pinstripes.

    And again Giancarlo Stanton elevated his October game with a two-run tie in the sixth – his third straight ALCS game with a home run and fourth of the series.

    Here’s our analysis of the Yankees’ win:

    Juan Soto could have easily won the pennant

    After fouling a slider and two Gaddis changes, Juan Soto just hit a towering fly to center that carried just 400 feet over the wall for a three-run home run.

    Yanks 5, Guardians 2, three outs on one pennant.

    Soto stopped short of first base to celebrate his shot with teammates who had fled the dugout. What a moment for a player who thrives in the spotlight.

    Yankees get a break

    Wells walks and should have been forced out at second base, but Rocchio drops the feed on a grounder to Gimenez and it’s first and second, one out in the 10th…

    Jasson Dominguez is now ahead of Wells in second place, Gleyber is retired and here is Soto versus Gaddis.

    Extra innings in Cleveland

    Luke Weaver sets the bottom of Cleveland’s order and another highly entertaining ALCS matchup heads into overtime. Emmanuel Clase is one and done after his ninth inning.

    Now in action for the Guards is Hunter Gaddis, who struck out fresh in the heart of the NYY order in the eighth inning last night.

    It’s Luke Weaver time

    After the Stanton strikeout, Jazz Chisholm Jr. a single, but Clase leaves the inning on a grounder to Rocchio, who tags the ball for Chisholm – who was running on the play.

    We go to the last of the ninth tie. And here’s Luke Weaver for the Yankees. If they want to win the pennant tonight, extra innings will be needed.

    And what kind of drama is this…

    Right one flies to the right. And here’s Stanton, one out in the ninth…

    …and Clase wins the battle. It was 100mph cutter after 100mph cutter, and Stanton strikes out, brandishing a 2-2 delivery.

    Here comes Clase vs. Judge and Stanton

    And you know this has gone so far.

    As brilliant as Clase was in the regular season, the powers that be with the deadly cutter struggled in October.

    The Yanks scored off him twice in the ninth to win Game 4, and Judge and Stanton homered back-to-back off him in that crazy Game 3, won by Cleveland in the 10th.e.

    Everyone here is in the ninth. Draw. Fasten your seat belts…

    Looking ahead to the ninth…

    The Yankees will send Judge and Stanton to start the ninth inning.

    But before that, it’s a matter of getting through Cleveland’s middle order here in the eighth, and Jake Cousins ​​is still there when Jose Ramirez comes up to bat…

    …and an excited Cousins ​​does the work, striking out after a two-out walk for Josh Naylor. Cousins ​​K’d Ramirez, Thomas and Jhonkensy Noel.

    Hill of a getaway; Jake Cousins ​​enters

    Tim Hill does the work in the seventh, after walking Rocchio on a 3-2 pitch (and not liking Alan Porter’s call) by getting Kwan on an unassisted DP from first base replacement Oswaldo Cabrera.

    Here’s Jake Cousins ​​keeping the score tied in the seventh Cleveland, Kyle Manzardo pinch-hitting for David Fry…

    …and Cousins ​​fans Manzardo. On to the eighth. All tied.

    A chance in the seventh inning

    Cleveland tough lefty Tim Herrin is now on in the seventh, one out and Oswaldo Cabrera pinch-runs for Rizzo (single). Austin arrives…

    …and Rocchio makes a neat double play to end the inning. Still 2-2 here.

    Tim Hill time

    One out, runner on first here in the sixth, Tim Hill now in a tie game. Cleveland has all these lefty hitters, and here is the lefty specialist to face Bo Naylor…

    …who singles to push the go-ahead run to second base. But Hill gets Andres Gimenez to convert a DP from Gleyber Torres, still 2-2 in the seventh.

    Veteran Hill, who was cut by the White Sox in June, was a big find for this bullpen and paid dividends in October.

    And. Were. Bound.

    On a 3-2 slider, Giancarlo Stanton mashes the ball 450 feet for a two-run home run, and it’s 2-2 in the sixth. Just give him the ALCS MVP now.

    Bibee is out, Cade Smith is in. Stanton has now homered in three straight games here and four of five in this ALCS.

    A spot for Aaron Judge

    Gleyber and Soto open the sixth with singles by Bibee and here is Aaron Judge…

    …who taps into a double play. Cade Smith is now on his way to Cleveland. Here’s Stanton (0-for-2, 2 Ks tonight, but you know the recent home runs).

    Carlos Rodon’s evening is over

    Rodon lasts 4.2 innings and leaves with runners on second and third in the fifth, two outs and Mark Leiter Jr. on to try to break out of the jam against the dangerous Jose Ramirez.

    The night ends for Rodon after David Fry’s bloop ends up in the triangle of Verdugo, Volpe and Judge, just past Judge’s diving attempt…

    …first base was open (Fry went to second after the throw-in) and Aaron Boone decided to walk Ramirez intentionally. It pays off when Leiter Jr. Lane Thomas grounded out. After five hours it is 2-0 Guards.

    Cleveland adds

    Rodon had just blown a 99 mph fastball past Brayan Rocchio for third strike, but the great Steven Kwan singled to Andres Gimenez (double) with two outs, and it’s 2-0 Guardians.

    Mark Leiter Jr. just started warming up in the Yanks’ bullpen here in the fifth inning.

    A pitchers’ duel so far

    Anthony Volpe’s sharp leadoff single to center in the fifth ends Bibee’s streak of 10 straight withdrawals, but Austin Wells hits a DP (call initially upheld by replay challenge) and it’s still 1-0 , Cleveland.

    Hey Tanner…

    That’s four scoreless innings for Tanner Bibee, who has a 1-0 lead for the Guardians.

    Bibee has retired 10 batters in a row since throwing a pitch that grazed Jazz Chisholm’s foot in the first inning, and he hasn’t recorded a hit since Soto’s double that threw out Gleyber at the plate.

    The Yankees may yet regret helping Bibee establish himself after Torres and Soto — for the seventh time in the Yanks’ nine postseason games — led off by reaching safely (yet the Yanks have a total of four points scored).

    Through three in Cleveland

    Rodon had not walked a batter in three playoff starts (11.2 innings) before walking No. 9 hitter Brayan Rocchio in the third, but the left-hander faced the next three batters. Still 1-0, Guards.

    So far, Rodon has 21 strikeouts in his 12.2 postseason innings, including five tonight – he got third strikeouts on two fastballs, a cutter, a slider and a changeup, so the variety of things is there.

    Counting pitches

    After two innings, Rodon has 41 pitches. Ideally, the Yankees would want to get the same six innings (93 pitches) he delivered in Game 2 because of the bullpen’s workload.

    Our assessment is that Tommy Kahnle is likely unavailable after throwing 44 pitches the last two nights in Games 3 and 4, and they would like to stay away from using Clay Holmes for a third straight game (27 pitches in Games 3 and 4). ).

    Cleveland on the board

    Credit Bo Naylor with a great AB, with a two-out RBI double that Josh (infield hit) drives in for a 1-0 Guardians lead in the second inning.

    Bo Naylor committed an error on four 2-2 pitches (slider, fastball, fastball, slider) before hitting a fastball into the right field corner for the game’s first run.

    Carlos Rodon got off to a solid start

    A good start from Carlos Rodon, a fast first inning with two Ks.

    As he said about his win in Game 1 vs. Cleveland (6 IP, 1 ER): “I was aware of where I was emotionally,” channeling his inner Gerrit Cole after being exuberant in his ALDS start against Kansas City.

    Lots of noise, lots of nothing

    Once again, Gleyber Torres and Juan Soto start a match by reaching safely… more on that later.

    But the first misplay goes to coach Luis Rojas’ too-early, too-aggressive sending of Torres to third base from first base after Soto’s double to right-center.

    Torres is thrown out at home, the Yanks load the bases (Judge and Jazz hit by pitches) and Rizzo lines out.

    Nestor Cortes gives a live session

    Earlier Saturday afternoon, lefty Nestor Cortes (flexor tendon) threw another simulated inning against live hitters.

    Cortes is “very progressive,” said manager Aaron Boone. “If we get through this round, he has an excellent chance of being in play” for inclusion on the World Series roster.

    Boone said Saturday’s 20-pitch session went well. Cortes will perform another live performance early this week, “and if that goes well, I’ll probably feel good about adding him to the next round.”

    The manager didn’t speculate on a possible World Series roster, but if the Yanks were to remain with 12 pitchers, Cortes could potentially replace Marcus Stroman, in a long-term relief role but inactive through the first four ALCS games.

    Giancarlo Stanton at the cleanup spot

    Giancarlo Stanton was moved from No. 5 to the cleanup spot against the right-handed Bibee, which provides better protection for Aaron Judge, although there are four lefty hitters in the bottom five of the order.

    Aaron Boone has favored the left-right lineup balance after elevating Jazz Chisholm to cleanup in Game 4 (replacing the struggling Austin Wells, who then homered at the eighth spot), but “I’ve feeling like… it’s a heavyweight fight now,” and Stanton delivered some real haymakers.

    Stanton has launched four home runs in his last six playoff games, since ALDS Game 3. And his three-run shot in ALCS Game 4 was Stanton’s 15th career postseason home run in 35 postseason games.
