The New York Yankees have advanced to the American League Championship Series (ALCS) after a 5-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians during game 5 of the American League Division Series (ALDS) tonight.

The Yankees will face the Houston Astros tomorrow night (Wednesday, October 19) with a start time of 7:37 pm ET. With that being said, New York baseball fans are now potentially only a few games away from seeing the Bronx Bombers play in a World Series.

While the Yankees were disappointed to have been rained out on Monday night, it was worth the wait for all of those in attendance. The players gathered on the field for an ultimate champagne celebration and later in the locker room before packing their bags and boarding a flight to Texas.

Scroll below to see just a few of the reactions on Twitter following another postseason win from the New York Yankees.

• *Stressed*

  Yankees make the ALCS and again we have to play the Astros. These next 7 days will be stressful.

• Special *

  It will be very special to see the New York Yankees face the Houston Astros in the playoffs since we haven’t seen those two teams meet in the post-season since 2015, 2017, 2019.

  We’re really gonna have an Astros Phillies World Series huh? This might be worse than the Penguins Predators Stanley Cup.
