- What time is New York Yankees vs Cleveland Guardians and where to watch Game 5 of the ALCS today?
The drought is over, and the New York Yankees are back in a World Series, after they beat the Cleveland Guardians 5-2 in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series to win it 4 games to 1.
Juan Soto launched a three-run home run in the 10th inning with two outs and two strikes in the count to seal the game. This is the team's first appearance back at a World Series sin 2009, when they beat the Philadelphia Phillies to win the title.
Their last championship and this next appearance are 14 years apart, which marks the second-longest drought between World Series for the franchise, one that happened between the 1903 and 1920 season.
Looking to make another historic run
The New York Yankees are the team with the most Major League Baseball championship among all the franchises, as they have 27 titles and look for another historic one to reach 28. The Saint Louis Cardinals come as a far second place with 11 titles won.
Regardless of the rival of the New York Yankees, Game 1 of the World Series will take place on Friday, October 25. They could meet a long-time rival to face them for an eleventh time if they face the Los Angeles Dodgers or wait and see if the New York Mets pull off a comeback and create a second edition of a Subway Series for the title.
The Dodgers, who previously used to play in Brooklyn, have a 3-2 NLCS lead over the New York Mets, and they will play Game 6 on Sunday. The National League Western Division Champions will look to end the series, and the Wild Card team will seek a Game 7 that will be played on Monday, if needed.
