The New York Yankees took a 1-0 lead in the ALCS with a 5-2 victory in the first match in the Bronxpowered by home runs from Giancarlo Stanton and Juan Soto and a superb outing from Carlos Rodón.

New York will look to better control the series in Game 2 Tuesday at Yankee Stadium, with ace Gerrit Cole on the mound. Cole started twice in the ALDS against the Royals – with the Yankees winning both games – and enters Game 2 of the American League Championship Series at 1-0 this postseason, with a 3 ERA, 00 in 12 innings pitched with eight strikeouts and two walks.

Cleveland will counter with Tanner Bibee. He logged 8 2/3 innings in two starts in these postseasons – both were Guardians’ wins over the Tigers in their ALDS – and struck out nine while walking three. Brayan Rocchio had two of Cleveland’s six hits in Game 1, including a solo homer in the sixth inning, but he’ll need more help from the middle of Cleveland’s lineup. José Ramírez, Lane Thomas and Josh Naylor – Cleveland’s 3-4-5 hitters – combined to go 0 for 11 with one walk and five strikeouts in the opener.
