Jazz Chisholm and the Yankees take ALCS lead

The last time the New York Yankees had a 2-0 lead in the American League Championship Series, they went on to win the 2009 World Series.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. and the 2024 Yankees just took a 2-0 lead in the ALCS. We’ll see what happens next.

Chisholm broke out of his slump at the plate, helping the Yankees take a 6-3 win over the Cleveland Guardians last night at Yankee Stadium.

He doubled to lead off the sixth inning, bringing an end to an 0-11 stretch at the plate and a three-game hitless streak.

The series now shifts to Progressive Field in Cleveland for Game 3 tomorrow afternoon at 5:08 p.m. Clarke Schmidt will take the mound for the Yankees, while the Guardians are expected to counter with Matthew Boyd.

Head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin and sophomore wing Rhema Collins lead the team into the 2024-25 season with a No. 20 ranking.

This marks the second consecutive year and the 18th time in school history that the Rebels have earned preseason honors from the Associated Press.
