Both bullpens worked scoreless seventh, eighth and ninth innings, and Cleveland pitcher Hunter Gaddis was able to get two outs in the top of the 10th. Yankees right fielder Juan Soto, however, all but ended affairs by clobbering a go-ahead three-run home run to dead center.

The Guardians are again facing elimination down 3-1 in the ALCS to the Yankees. In Saturday night's Gams 5, they'll try to extend the series.

This isn’t the way it was supposed to end for the Guardians. Not like this. Their surprising season came to a sudden finish late Saturday night, losing 5-2 in 10 innings to the New York Yankees in Game 5 of an American League Championship Series.
