Zero

Shortstop Brayan Rocchio’s error at second extended the top of the 10th inning and helped get Soto to the plate.

Unsung hero

The Yankees’ bullpen held the Guardians to two runs and gave the offense time to add some runs in extra innings – and for Soto to deliver the biggest Bombershomer since they last won the World Series against the Phillies in 2009.

Key stat

15: The Yankees return to the World Series for the first time in 15 years.
