NEW YORK — Oscar Gonzalez singled in the go-ahead run with Cleveland's second straight bloop hit in the 10th inning, and the Guardians overcame a two-run deficit to beat the New York Yankees 4-2 Friday and even their best-of-five AL Division Series at one game apiece.
"We just try find a way on base," Naylor said."If it's a bloop hit, it's a bloop hit. If it's a hard-hit single, double, whatever the case it, we just try to hustle. try to make things happen on the field, try to put pressure on the defense." "It was preparing mentally and remembering when I was a starter in the minor leagues and try to do the same thing," Clase said through a translator.The series shifts to Cleveland for Game 3 on Saturday night. There is no travel day because a rainout Thursday had pushed Game 2 to Friday.
Judge is 2 for 37 with 27 strikeouts against Cleveland in three playoff series, including all four of his four-strikeout postseason games.Cortes saved two runs in the fourth with an acrobatic leap and throw to first from a sitting position on Myles Straw's two-out, bases-loaded comebacker. Two years ago, Bieber allowed a two-run homer in the first to Judge in the wild-card opener, a 12-3 Yankees win.
