    Guardians score against New York Yankees in ALCS Game 5

    CLEVELAND – The Guardians played their playoff games in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday night.

    With their backs against the wall, the Guardians hoped to force the series back to New York for Game 6 and possibly 7. That seemed like a possibility when they led early on Saturday. But the Yankees rallied with a big home run and won it in the 10th with an even bigger home run, and the Guardians could only watch as the Yankees celebrated punching their ticket to the World Series.

    Here’s how Game 5 unfolded through our live updates, analysis and highlights.

    The Yankees are heading to the World Series after beating the Guardians 5-2 in extra innings in Saturday’s Game 5.

    The Guardians’ surprising, incredible season comes to an end with three wins just shy of a trip to the World Series.

    Juan Soto might have just sent the Yankees to the World Series.

    After fouling several straight pitches by Hunter Gaddis, Juan Soto crushed a fastball over the centerfield wall for a three-run home run that gave the Yankees a 5-2 lead in the 10th inning.

    The Yankees are three outs away from reaching the ALCS. The Guardians will be up top against Luke Weaver.

    And Brayan Rocchio’s mistake that extended the inning to Soto looms large.

    For the second time in three games, the Guardians and Yankees go to extra innings. Hunter Gaddis enters the game to pitch for Cleveland.

    Emmanuel Clase got through the ninth inning, retiring Aaron Judge on a flyout and striking out Giancarlo Stanton on all cutters. Jazz Chisholm Jr. singled to right field, but Oswaldo Cabrera grounded in a force out on a nice play by Brayan Rocchio at short stop.

    The Guardians get a chance to get the win in the bottom of the ninth. Bo Naylor needs to step up.

    Jhonkensy Noel struck out with a runner on first to end the eighth inning, and the Guardians and Yankees go into the ninth inning of Game 5 tied 2-2.

    Emmanuel Clase joins the game. His first two hitters: Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.

    Tim Herrin got Austin Wells, who hasn’t looked good this series, into an inning-ending double play.

    The score is 2-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh inning. Tim Hill is still in the game for the Yankees.

    Tim Hill got a double play ball from Andres Gimenez, and the Guardians and Yankees go into the top of the seventh inning tied 2-2. Tim Herrin is warming up for the Guardians.

    Mark Leiter Jr. retired Jhonkensy Noel on a pop-up, and the Yankees turned to lefty Tim Hil to face Bo Naylor with Josh Naylor on first base and one out in the sixth.

    Tanner Bibee was great – until his last throw of the night.

    With two outs in the sixth, Bibee had a 3-2 count on Giancarlo Stanton, but he hung up a slider, and Stanton absolutely drilled it into the left field bleacher seats for a tying two-run home run.

    The exit speed on the Stanton Homer was a ridiculous 110 miles per hour. You just hope the fan who caught it didn’t break his hand, even from 450 feet away. That was crushed.

    Stanton now has four home runs in this ALCS.

    Gleyber Torres and Juan Soto opened the sixth inning with back-to-back singles, leaving Aaron Judge with no one out and the Guardians clinging to a 2-0 lead.

    Bibee got the ground ball he needed, and Brayan Rocchio and Andres Gimenez turned a 6-4-3 double play.

    The Guardians have a 2-0 lead, but can’t increase it as Mark Leiter Jr. intentionally walked Jose Ramirez and then induced a groundout off the bat of Lane Thomas to end the inning.

    Tanner Bibee comes out for the sixth inning and tops the Yankees list for the third time.

    Steven Kwan came through for the Guardians with a two-out, RBI single up the middle to score Andres Gimenez, who doubled to left field earlier in the fifth inning.

    Kwan has now reached base in 16 consecutive postseason games, which is a franchise playoff record.

    It’s 2-0 Guardians.

    Tanner Bibee has five scoreless innings and has five strikeouts compared to three hits allowed. He was efficient tonight and the best version of himself.

    The Guardians lead the Yankees 1-0 heading into the bottom of the fifth.

    Tanner Bibee has now retired ten in a row, is through the fourth inning and is at the bottom of the rankings in the fifth inning. The Guardians starter sails after a difficult start.

    It appears the play at the plate gave Tanner Bibee a chance to reset and calm down as he has recovered well after being hit hard to start the game. Bibee just struck out Aaron Judge to end the third inning, and he now has four strikeouts tonight.

    It’s 1-0 Guardians.

    The Guardians struck first in Game 5.

    In a 10-pitch at-bat, Bo Naylor hit a double that scored Josh Naylor, who took off as the pitch was thrown, from first base.

    The Guardians have a 1-0 lead, thanks in part to Yankees third base coach Luis Rojas’ terrible decision to send Torres in the first inning.

    The second inning was much easier for Bibee, who retired the Yankees in a 1-2-3 run. Bibee has 30 pitches through two innings.

    Carlos Rodon got through that first inning, striking out Steven Kwan and David Fry and getting Jose Ramirez to ground out to end the inning.

    It was significantly less stressful in an inning compared to Bibee’s for a pitcher.

    Jhonkensy Noel and Andres Gimenez put together a great relay to keep Game 5 scoreless.

    Gleyber Torres led off the first inning with a single and was followed by Juan Soto, who doubled to the right-center gap.

    The Yankees made a pretty poor decision to send Torres home as there were still no outs in the inning, and Gimenez made a perfect throw to the plate to save a run.

    It’s still scoreless in the top of the first inning. Tanner Bibee then hit Aaron Judge before eliminating Giancarlo Stanton. He also hit Jazz Chisholm Jr. to load the bases, but Anthony Rizzo flied out to end the inning without damage.

    After Torres and Soto both made good contact, that poor decision to send Torres to the plate is the kind of move that stops the momentum and allows Bibee and the Guardians to reset.

    And Gimenez’s defensive value to the Guardians cannot be understated.

    Below you will find some pregame information.
