CLEVELAND — Triston McKenzie shut down New York's big-bashing lineup over seven superb innings in a combined one-hitter and closer Emmanuel Clase survived a harrowing ninth, giving the Cleveland Guardians a 2-0 win over the Yankees on Sunday.
Eli Morgan worked a 1-2-3 in the eighth before giving way to Clase, the AL's top reliever in June. The Yankees loaded the bases with two outs on two walks — one to a pinch-hitting Aaron Judge — before Clase got Aaron Hicks to ground to second for the final out and his 19th save in 21 chances.The Yankees lost for just the sixth time in 32 games since May 31.
Reyes homered leading off the fourth inning against Jordan Montgomery , who pitched well but didn't get the run support, an unusual occurrence for a Yankees team winning at a record pace. Reyes, who recently returned after missing 23 games with a strained hamstring, put the Guardians up 1-0 in the fourth with his sixth homer. Reyes turned on a 1-1 curveball, sending it over the wall in left field.The Yankees didn't start Judge, who leads the majors with 29 homers but didn't connect during the series in Cleveland. Earlier this week, Judge joined Babe Ruth , Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle as the only players to homer 29 times in the team's first 76 games.
