Two pitchers take the mound for the game that night, Game 5 of the ALCS between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians. Neither will get the win, and one won’t even finish five innings. But when the dust settles, Juan Soto’s home run in the tenth inning puts the Yankees ahead 5-2 and proves the pennant-clincher.
On Tuesday night, at Yankee Stadium, these two pitchers will face off again. Carlos Rodon and Tanner Bibee in an ALCS clincher rematch.
