The New York Yankees are going back to the World Series.
Juan Soto’s three-run home run in the 10th inning lifted the Bronx Bombers to a 5-2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday. The team with the most World Series championships of any major league franchise with 27, the Yankees have not been to — or won — a World Series since 2009.
The Soto also caught the final out of the game in the bottom of the 10th inning, setting off a raucous celebration on the infield at Progressive Field. The Yankees will play the winner of the National League Championship Series, either the Los Angeles Dodgers or New York Mets, when the World Series begins Oct. 25.
The Dodgers lead the Mets 3-2 in their best-of-seven series.
