After three close, tense games in Cleveland, the Yankees have a chance to secure a series win today against the Indians. Much like the ALDS these two teams put on last October, this series has been full of taut matches and dramatic moments. Let's hope this series culminates with the same result as the ALDS. Masahiro Tanaka will make his second start since returning from the DL with injuries to both his hamstrings. Tanaka was uneven in his last outing, lasting only 4.1 innings against the Orioles, yielding three runs and striking out five. That was somewhat representative of his inconsistent season so far, as his ERA sits at 4.68, and his FIP at 4.96. Trevor Bauer will start for Cleveland. Bauer Continue to Article

Indians catcher Yan Gomes walked to the plate Saturday night and found out he was an All-Star. Gomes will replace Tampa Bay's Wilson Ramos in Tuesday's game in Washington D.C., giving Cleveland six All-Stars. Gomes said he wrestled with emotions when he came up in the ninth to face New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman and saw on the giant scoreboard in left field that he had made the AL squad.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Indians catcher Yan Gomes walked to the plate Saturday night and found out he was an All-Star. Gomes will replace Tampa Bay's Wilson Ramos in Tuesday's game in Washington D.C., giving Cleveland six All-Stars. Gomes said he wrestled with emotions when he came up in the ninth to face New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman and saw on the giant scoreboard in left field that he had made the AL squad. Gomes struck out but described it as "the happiest strikeout." New York beat Cleveland 5-4. "I don't think I've ever been that emotional in an at-bat before," he said. "I'm not going to lie, it was kind of hard to get back in the box. I tried to focus in there, but it didn't quite work Continue to Article

CLEVELAND — The only item missing from the generous gift presented to the Yankees by the Indians on Saturday night was an attractive pinstripe bow dotted with interlocking NYs. How else can you describe two errors on one play in the big leagues by a team running away with the AL Central? Yet after flushing a three-run lead taken in the third inning, the Yankees benefited from Indians right fielder Brandon Guyer failing to pick up Austin Romine’s double to the warning track in right-center in the seventh inning of a tie game. That blunder allowed the heavy-legged catcher to round second and make third. Second baseman Erik Gonzalez then took Guyer’s throw and threw wildly to third, the ball bouncing Continue to Article

Austin Romine came all the way around to score when the Cleveland Indians made two errors on his double to right field in the seventh inning, single-handedly breaking a tie and providing the margin of victory in the New York Yankees' 5-4 win Saturday night in Cleveland. David Robertson (7-3) pitched out of a jam in the bottom of the sixth and combined with two fellow relievers on 3 1/3 innings of hitless and scoreless relief, helping the Yankees beat the Indians for the second time in three nights. After Cleveland had rallied into a 4-4 tie in the sixth on Brandon Guyer's infield single that scored two runs, including Jose Ramirez all the way from second base, Romine laced Indians starter Mike Clevinger's first pitch of the seventh into right field for a double.
