ICYMI: The Guardians fell to the New York Yankees in the first game of the ALDS.
Harrison Bader had a similar fantasy while sitting in the first base seats as a 15-year-old and watching New York’s last championship team.Cole cruised for most of the night, Bader and Anthony Rizzo homered and the Yankees beat the Cleveland Guardians 4-1 on Tuesday in their AL Division Series opener.
“I want to validate myself," Bader said. “I want to play hard and I want to show my teammates and I want to show —- my parents are in the stands — I want to show them all why I earned that uniform.” After Kwan's homer, Cole hit Amed Rosario with a pitch and José Ramírez lined a gapper to left-center. Bader, a Gold Glove center fielder, saved a run by cutting off the ball and holding the runners at second and third. Cole escaped a bases-loaded jam by striking out Andrés Giménez with his 60th pitch.Cole needed just eight pitches in the fourth and allowed just two more runners, on a single and his only walk.
Jose Trevino put New York ahead with a sacrifce fly in the fifth after Isiah Kiner-Falefa reached on a single into the right-field corner and Wild Card Series star Oscar Gonzalez allowed the ball to bounce through his legs for a two-base error. “The Guardians are a young team that has a lot of momentum and have been pitching really well and playing really well,” Rizzo said. “That’s a scary combination.”
