The Cleveland Guardians quest for an American League pennant will continue.
The Guardians won the decisive Game 5 of their ALDS against the Tigers 7-3 on Saturday to advance to the American League Championship Series for the first time since 2016. The Guardians won the pennant that year before a crushing loss to the Cubs in seven games in the World Series.

That was part of Cleveland's eight-game losing streak in winner-take-all playoff games. That streak is no more, and the Guardians are headed to New York to play the Yankees in the best-of-seven ALCS.
They got there thanks in large part to a fifth-inning grand slam by Guardians outfielder Lane Thomas in Game 5 of the American League Divisional Series against the Detroit Tigers .
