New York Yankees vs Cleveland Guardians: First game of the ALDS series

The Yankees took the first game of the ALDS series in their backyard with a score of 4-1. It was the Yankee's first postseason game in the Bronx since Game 5 of the 2019 ALCS!

Gerrit Cole navigated traffic with the ball in his hands. He has a superb game! After working hard in the first innings, Cole settled in and retired 12 of the final 14 batters he faced. Cleveland did not have another runner to advance as far as a second base while he was on the mound.

Anthony Rizzo chipped in with a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning which put the match to bed. New York is now two wins away from advancing to the ALCS.

Game 2 is scheduled for Thursday night, though the forecast suggests the weather could be an issue.
