The world-famous New York Yankees are reaching for their 28th title – thanks in part to two-time all-star Juan Soto.
The New York Yankees have returned to the Major League Baseball World Series for the first time since winning the title in 2009. The record champions prevailed 5-2 in the fifth game of the semi-final series against the Cleveland Guardians thanks to Juan Soto. The two-time All-Star got the decisive three outs with a home run in the tenth inning.
The Yankees won the series against Cleveland 4-1. In the final, the 27-time champion will face the Los Angeles Dodgers with Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani or the New York Mets. The Dodgers are currently 3-2 in the series and can secure their place in the World Series with a win on Monday night.
Of the title contenders, the Dodgers last won the World Series in 2020. The world-famous Yankees have been waiting for their 28th title since 2009; the Mets were last successful in 1986.
