Yankees Secure a Thrilling Victory in Extras! 
Hey, Yankees Nation! What an electrifying game we had last night against the Cleveland Guardians! Let's break down the action-packed events that led to our glorious 5-2 victory in extra innings.Rocky Start but Strong Finish 
The game started off with some missed opportunities as our boys couldn't quite capitalize in the 1st inning. Gleyber Torres got things going with a single, but the inning ended with us unable to push any runs across the plate. It was all quiet through the early innings, with struggles at the plate and Carlos Rodón finding his groove after a shaky start, giving up a run in the 2nd and 5th innings, leaving us trailing 2-0.Stanton and Soto Deliver the Fireworks! 
In the 6th inning, Giancarlo Stanton reignited our hopes with a monster 446-foot homer to left-center, driving in Torres and tying the game at 2-2. The game then turned into a battle of the bullpens until the 10th inning. That's when Juan Soto, one of our fearless newcomers, delivered a game-changing, 3-run homer, scoring Jasson Domínguez and Alex Verdugo to give us a 5-2 lead!Locking Down the Win 
In the bottom of the 10th, our relief pitchers were rock solid, with Dillon Weaver shutting down any hopes the Guardians had of a comeback. Jose Trevino came in as a defensive replacement to help wrap things up with precision, working in tandem with Weaver to ensure a smooth final inning. The Guardians couldn’t catch a break, and our Yanks wrapped up a memorable triumph.What a ride, Yankee fans! It’s always a thrill to pull out a nail-biter in extra innings. Let’s hope this momentum carries into the rest of the series. Go Yankees!
