CLEVELAND (AP) — Andrés Giménez’s sacrifice fly capped Cleveland’s wild, three-run rally in the 10th inning as the Guardians salvaged the finale of a three-game series with a stunning 8-7 win over the New York Yankees.
Down 7-5, the Guardians scored three in the 10th off Caleb Ferguson on a force out, fielder’s choice and sacrifice fly.
The Yankees had taken a 7-6 lead in the 10th on Anthony Rizzo’s two-run double off Tyler Beede.
But the Guardians came up with big at-bats to pull off a stunning win to close a first homestand that began with total solar eclipse.
Aaron Judge hit a three-run homer for the Yankees, who dropped to 12-4.
