New York Yankees hold off Cleveland to set up ALCS date with Houston Astros

• New York win 5-1 in Game 5 of ALDS to eliminate Guardians
• Yankees will face Astros in Game 1 of ALCS on Wednesday
• NLCS: Wheeler silences Padres as Phillies take series opener

Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge staggered Cleveland with early homers, and the New York Yankees beat the Guardians 5-1 Tuesday in the decisive Game 5 of their AL Division Series to set up another rematch with Houston for the pennant.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone won his gamble by starting Nestor Cortes on three days' rest over Jameson Taillon, making the late switch after Monday night's rain caused a postponement.
