The New York Mets became the first team to advance to the next round of the MLB postseason.
Their crosstown rival in the American League became the second as the Yankees beat the Royals, 3-1, in Kansas City Thursday night. It's the 19th time they've advanced to the ALCS, which is the most in MLB History. They now await the winner of the Guardians–Tigers series that’s going to a decisive Game 5 after Cleveland rallied for a 5-4 victory.
