JUST IN: New York Yankees beat Cleveland Guardians 4-1, take Game 1 of the ALDS
Winner of the best-of-five series will face defending AL champion Houston or Seattle for the AL pennant.
"Man, it's heaven," Aaron Judge said. "I get the jitters. The intros, running out on that line, the crowd cheering, the whole crisp, cool air. There's nothing like it. You can't hear the Roll Call - even when I'm in right field, with the Bleacher Creatures, I can barely hear what they are saying.""That's part of the fun of being here," said Francona, familiar with the Bronx intensity from his days with the rival Red Sox.
This is a bit of a David vs. Goliath matchup, and not just because Judge is 6-foot-7. New York is third with a $254 million payroll and Cleveland 27th at $60 million. The Indians had the youngest age of both batters and pitchers during the regular season, according to baseballreference.com. Quantrill is 11-0 with a 2.95 ERA in 17 starts since a July 5 loss at Detroit. His dad, Paul, pitched for the 2004 Yankees and surrendered a game-ending homer to David Ortiz in the 12th inning of Game 4 of the AL Championship Series as Boston began its unprecedented rebound from a three games to none deficit.
Cleveland had hoped to add 34-year-old righty Bryan Shaw, who was designated for assignment on Oct. 1 and assigned outright to Triple-A Columbus two days later. But 15 days must elapse before he can be restored to the big league roster. The first playoff game of the season at Yankee Stadium generates a ton of excitement, but it also generates a lot of money for the city.
