The 2022 American League Championship Series is the best-of-seven playoff between the two American League Division Series winners, the Houston Astros and the New York Yankees, for the American League (AL) pennant and the right to play in the 2022 World Series.
The series will begin on October 19 with a potential Game 7 scheduled for October 26, with the only planned off day being October 21. TBS will be televising all games in the United States.[1]
Background
The Houston Astros qualified for the postseason as the American League (AL) West division winner.[2] It was their fifth AL West championship in six years and their second straight divisional championship. In the Division Series, they swept the Seattle Mariners.[3] This is the Astros' sixth consecutive appearance in the American League Championship Series (ALCS), an AL record,[4] and the second most consecutive LCS appearances since the Atlanta Braves, who made eight in a row from 1991 to 1999, not counting the canceled 1994 season).[5]
The New York Yankees qualified for the postseason as the AL East division winner. It was their second AL East championship in four years.[6] In the Division Series, they defeated the Cleveland Guardians in five games.[7]
This series will mark the fourth time the two clubs have faced off in the playoffs and the third in the ALCS. The Astros previously defeated the Yankees in the 2015 Wild Card, the 2017 ALCS, and the 2019 ALCS. Houston won five of the seven games against New York during the regular season. This is the first postseason meeting between the two teams since the revelation of the Houston Astros sign stealing scandal, which included the 2017 ALCS; however, despite allegations, there was no evidence for electronic sign stealing during the 2019 season.[8]
Summary
Houston leads the series, 1–0.

Game 1 featured the Astros' Justin Verlander going up against Jameson Taillon for the Yankees. Harrison Bader got the scoring started with a solo home run in the top of the second. It was his fourth home run of the postseason, becoming the first Yankee player to hit four home runs in their first six postseason games.[10] The Astros responded in the bottom half of the inning when Martín Maldonado drove in Chas McCormick with an RBI double to tie the game at one. After some early trouble, Verlander settled in and went on to strikeout 11 in six innings, giving up only the one run. Taillon was taken out in the fifth after giving up a double to Jeremy Peña, finishing with 4+1⁄3 innings pitched. Clarke Schmidt, who was brought on in relief, would walk the bases loaded before getting Kyle Tucker to ground into an inning-ending double play. Yuli Gurriel grabbed the lead back for the Astros in the sixth with a lead-off homer, shortly followed by another home run by McCormick to bring the score to 3–1. Peña would also homer in the seventh to cap off his night, going 3-4 with two doubles and a homer and pushing the lead to 4–1. Anthony Rizzo hit a solo shot off of Rafael Montero in the eighth and the Yankees threatened with a single by Giancarlo Stanton and two-out walk by Josh Donaldson to bring the go-ahead run to the plate. Ryan Pressly was called on for the four-out save and struck out Matt Carpenter to end the eighth and finished the off the game with a perfect ninth to give the Astros a 1–0 series lead. The Yankees struck out a total of 17 times in the game while the Astros struck out twice. The 15 strikeout difference between the two teams was the largest differential in postseason history.[11]
