Yankees fight back late to beat Guardians, 7-5, in extra innings

Theyankees" target="_self"> Yankees gave up an early lead, but fought back to tie the game in the eighth first-time-in-46-days-teams-winning-streak-ends-at-13/">inning and go on to beat the Cleveland Guardians, 7-5, in 10 innings on Monday night.

This is New York’s first extra-innings win of the year.

Here are the takeaways…

— Paul Goldschmidt got the Yanks on the board right away in the top of the first inning, blasting a two-run homer over the left field wall off of Gavin Williams to put New York up 2-0.

— Cleveland should have gotten out of the third inning with a double play, but shortstop Brayan Rocchio‘s throw went wide, allowing Cody Bellinger to reach first safely and Trent Grisham to score as the Yanks took a 3-0 lead.

— Will Warren opened the game by striking out the side and kept it going in the second inning. Despite issuing a 10-pitch walk to the leadoff man Kyle Manzardo, Warren forced a big double play and another ground out.

The right-hander ran into some trouble in the third inning as he walked Steven Kwan and let up a double to Patrick Bailey, giving the Guardians runners on second and third with no outs. Kwan then scored on a wild pitch and Bailey scored on a ground out to make it a 3-2 game. Warren had a chance to get out of the frame after letting up two straight singles, but Manzardo made it three straight and tied the game at 3-3.

Warren plunked Rocchio to open the fifth inning and then struck out Travis Bazzana, but was pulled after 87 pitches. Overall, Warren allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits with five strikeouts and two walks over 4.1 IP. Brent Headrick held onto the lead by getting the final two outs of the inning.

— Thanks to the replay review, Ryan McMahon‘s “double” off the top of the left field wall in the fifth inning was changed to a home run, putting the Yanks up 4-3.

— Paul Blackburn gave up the lead in the bottom of the sixth inning against his first batter as Angel Martínez blasted a two-run homer to center field, making it a 5-4 game.

— Needing to get something going, Grisham and Ben Rice hit back-to-back singles to lead off the eighth inning. With runners on first and third base, Goldschmidt came through with the game-tying RBI, beating out Rocchio’s throw to first to avoid the double play. Bellinger then singled to keep it going, but Rocchio made an impressive diving stop to turn two and get out of the inning.

— After the Yanks went down in order following Spencer Jones‘ leadoff single in the ninth, Tim Hill and David Bednar shut down the Guardians to send the game to extra innings tied up at 5-5.

Bellinger delivered the big hit in the 10th with the bases loaded, slapping it through the infield to left field to give the team a 7-5 lead. Bednar closed it out in the bottom of the inning, recording three straight outs after a leadoff walk.

Game MVP: Paul Goldschmidt

While Bellinger was the hero in extras, Goldschmidt had a big night. The veteran homered in the first and drove in the game-tying run in the fifth, finishing 1-for-4 with three RBI.
