With both the Yankees and the Guardians are tied at 2-2, Game 5 at Yankees Stadium on Monday will decide the team to contest the Astros in the American League Championship Series. Jameson Taillon is set to start the all-important game for the Yankees.

Taillon will pitch Game 5 for the Yankees after Gerrit Cole brought them back to the ALDS with a solid seven-inning performance in a 4-2 victory over the Guardians at Progressive Field on Sunday night.
