The New York Yankees have secured their spot in the ALCS after a 3-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals in Game 4 of the ALDS. Gerrit Cole was the standout performer, delivering an impressive 7-inning outing with only 1 earned run allowed.

Aaron Judge contributed with a key double, reflecting on the motivation stemming from the Yankees' disappointing 2023 season that ended in the same stadium. Judge emphasized the team's determination to avoid a repeat of last year's early exit from the playoffs.
