The New York Yankees won game 1 of the AL Championship Series against a tough Cleveland Guardians etching staff to take a 1-0 early lead in the 7-game series. Owing to Giancarlo Stanton and Juan Soto’s homers, the Yanks stacked 5 runs on the board, whereas the Guardians could only muster two runs.

Giancarlo Stanton continued his red-hot postseason performance, launching a massive 439-foot home run in the New York Yankees’ 5-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians in Game 1 of the ALCS. Despite a three-day break and colder weather, Stanton remained locked in, extending his dominance from the AL Division Series. His seventh-inning blast provided crucial insurance for New York as they held off the Guardians to take the series lead. Naturally, Stanton’s impact in the middle of the lineup was praised by manager Aaron Boone, who reflected on how Stanton’s focus and power were key elements of his contribution. “Locked in, focused, and that’s what he’s capable of. That ball is absolutely nailed on a cold night,” Boone said.
Having said that, Giancarlo Stanton’s performance wasn’t limited to the home run. He also walked and scored earlier in the game, helping fuel a three-run rally in the third inning. Despite finishing 1-for-3, both of Stanton’s outs were deep fly balls, further evidence of his consistently strong at-bats. Meanwhile, reflecting on his approach, Stanton spoke about how vital it is to stay in the moment. “I understand how important each pitch, each moment is,” he said. With that, the slugger’s postseason numbers continue to impress. Moreover, with 13 career postseason home runs in 115 at-bats, he ranks among the all-time greats, second only to Babe Ruth in home run frequency in the playoffs. His hot streak, along with the power of Juan Soto, has provided much-needed support for captain Aaron Judge, who has struggled to produce offensively so far in the postseason.
Aaron Judge Unable To Get Rid Of Postseason Slump
As the New York Yankees opened the ALCS with a 5-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians, Giancarlo Stanton’s powerful postseason surge continued, while Aaron Judge remained in a slump. While his defensive contributions were vital, making two catches in the outfield and driving in a run with a sacrifice fly, his performance at the plate left much to be desired.
The captain went 0-for-3, with his postseason numbers now standing at just 2-for-15 with one extra-base hit. The “MVP” chants from the Yankee faithful have grown quieter, as Aaron Judge has yet to rediscover the form that made him one of the league’s most feared hitters. Moreover, Judge’s postseason slump extends over nine games, during which he’s managed only three hits in 31 at-bats, a far cry from his regular-season prowess.
