CLEVELAND — Cleveland's baseball franchise is back in the division series for the first time since 2018 after its two-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays in one of the American League wild-card affairs.
The Guardians ended a marathon Game 2 with a walk-off solo home run by Oscar Gonzalez in the 15th inning on Saturday for the 1-0 victory.
The Guardians took Game 1, 2-1, on Friday. It'll be their fourth division series appearance since 2016 — though that's the last year they advanced to the American League Championship Series.
Cleveland will face the New York Yankees beginning on Tuesday in New York. It'll be a contrast in styles as the Yankees led MLB in home runs while the Guardians ranked 29th in that category.
