Heroes, zeros and the inside pitch from the Yankees’ 5-2 ALCS-clinching win over the Guardians on Saturday night in Cleveland:
Hero
Juan Soto’s three-run blast in the 10th inning won the game and put him in Yankee lore forever.
Follow The Post’s coverage of the Yankees in the postseason:
Zero
Shortstop Brayan Rocchio’s error at second extended the top of the 10th inning and helped get Soto to the plate.
Unsung hero
The Yankees bullpen kept the Guardians at two runs and allowed the offense time to add some runs in extra innings- and for Soto to deliver the biggest Bombershomer since they last won the World Series over the Phillies in 2009.
Key stat
15: The Yankees are going back to the World Series for the first time in 15 years.
Quote of the night
“To get there doesn’t mean much. We need to win it.’’
— Giancarlo Stanton on Yankees’ reaching the World Series.
