Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton went deep and Carlos Rodon set the tone on the mound, as the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Guardians in Game 1 of the ALCS.
The New York Yankees struck first in the ALCS, as they defeated the Cleveland Guardians at their home Yankee Stadium, 5-2, in Game 1 on Monday night. Juan Soto, who had good numbers coming into this game off Guardians starter Alex Cobb, was already 1-for-1 with a single when he stepped to the plate in the bottom of the third inning to lead things off.
Rodon’s first outing with the Yankees didn’t go as planned despite a great start against the Kansas City Royals in Game 2, where he struck out the side to set the tone. However, Rodon talked about being able to keep his emotions at bay after exuding a lot of energy in that loss to Kansas City, and that appeared to work in his favor this time around. Rodon saw six strong innings for the Yankees, striking out nine and collecting 24 swings-and-misses from Guardians hitters.
