The New York Yankees defeated the Cleveland Guardians 5-1 in Game 5 of the American League Division Series and advance to the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros.
beat the Guardians 5-1 Tuesday in the decisive Game 5 of their AL Division Series to set up another rematch with Houston for the pennant.
Cortes dominated with three-hit ball for five innings for the win, Jonathan Loáisiga, Clay Holmes and Wandy Peralta finished with five-hit scoreless relief. Houston beat the Yankees in a seven-game championship series in 2017 and over six games in 2019. The Astros went on to their first World Series title in 2017 but later were found to have used a video camera to signal opposition pitches to their batters.
Cleveland has lost 11 straight postseason elimination games, a major league record. The Guardians seemed jarred by the early deficit and failed to ask for a video review in the fourth inning when Andrés Giménez clearly beat a diving Anthony Rizzo to the first-base bag, Rain had cleared out and the game began with left and center field in brilliant sunshine on a 57-degree afternoon. There were scattered empty seats for the 4:07 p.m. start, and fans loudly booed Naylor whose exuberant "rock the baby" home run trot Sunday got New York's attention. Fans serenaded Naylor with rocking motions and chanted "Who's Your Daddy!" as they did for Boston's Pedro Martinez two decades earlier.
