Cleveland GuardiansvsNew York Yankees
CLE 5/NYY 4
Things to say
Cleveland beat the Yankees 5-4 at Yankee Stadium.
01
opener
Guardians stole one in the Bronx. 5-4, came down to the last at-bat. Yankees bullpen blew it again.
02
key player
Cleveland's lineup just kept grinding at-bats. Yankees starter didn't have it past the fifth.
03
hot take
Boone went to the pen way too early. You leave your guy in, you probably win that game.
04
deep cut
Yankees were 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position. You can't strand that many guys at home.
05
exit
Anyway, they go again tomorrow. Yanks better figure out the bullpen before the Sox series.
The recap
Guardians sneak one out in the Bronx, 5-4, and you love to see Cleveland walk into Yankee Stadium and just take it. Without a scoring summary in front of me the turning point's a guess, but a one-run road win at Yankee Stadium almost always comes down to the bullpen holding serve late and somebody in the heart of the order squaring one up.
Both clubs sitting at 36 wins now, so Cleveland pulls even in the standings conversation. Getaway-day vibes in the Bronx and the Guardians left with the W.
