In Game 5 of the ALDS, the Yankees trounced the Guardians 5-1. This led to a lot of tweets and memes from fans.
The Yankees had to wait through two rain delays and five games before they could say they were going to the ALCS.
In Game 5, New York beat Aaron Civale of Cleveland in the first inning, giving them an early lead. The rest of the game didn’t give them much trouble.
Since Josh Naylor’s “rock the baby” home run celebration from Game 4 was talked about a lot during the game, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Twitter was full of jokes about it after the last out.
Here are the best memes and tweets.
NYY fans and players enjoyed the moment to the fullest.
Giancarlo Stanton‘s home run gave the Yankees a 3-0 lead in the first. In the second, Aaron Judge added to the lead with his home run. After falling behind, Cleveland didn’t know what to do, especially since Nestor Cortes pitched five strong innings after three days off.
Even though they lost, fans of the Guardians were still in a good mood because they had done so well this season.
Now all eyes will be on the game against the Astros. Fans in Houston want to end the Yankees’ season again, while fans in New York will see this series as a chance to make things right.
Since 2015, the Astros and Yankees have met three times in the postseason. The last two times they played each other was in the ALCS, and Houston won both times. The two best teams in the American League have played each other before. It should be an amazing show.
