Live updates, analysis: Judge, Soto score to help Yankees take lead vs. Guardians

It’s a two-game day in the Championship Series. First, the Los Angeles Dodgers look to extend their scoreless innings streak with a bullpen game against the New York Mets, who will try to avoid heading back to Queens in a 0-2 hole. Then, the New York Yankees host the Cleveland Guardians a championship series game against a team other than the Houston Astros for the first time since 2012. Can Carlos Rodon change the tune of the Yankees’ recent ALCS struggles?

We’ve got you covered with lineups, live updates and analysis as the games are played, followed by our takeaways after each final pitch.
