NEW YORK — While tapping second base to record the game-ending forceout that clinched the American League Division Series for the New York Yankees, Gleyber Torres added a motion that had just become all the rave at Yankee Stadium.

Torres cradled his arms together in a mocking, rocking-the-baby motion, while glaring at Josh Naylor and the Cleveland Guardians dugout.

In that moment, Torres thought back to what he had witnessed from his position in the Progressive Field infield the game before — and remembered the feeling of disrespect. «We got our revenge.

We're happy to beat those guys. Now they can watch on TV the next series for us,'' Torres said amid a champagne celebration in the Yankee clubhouse after New York polished off a 5-1 victory in Tuesday night's decisive Game 5. „It's nothing personal.
