The postseason got underway in the Bronx on Tuesday, and radio broadcaster John Sterling was ready for it. The Yankees ended up winning Game 1 of their ALDS matchup against the Cleveland Guardians handily by a score of 4-1. It didn’t always look like it’d be that easy, though.
Trying to shift the narrative about his postseason performance in pinstripes, Gerrit Cole gave up a solo home run to Steven Kwan to give Cleveland a 1-0 lead. While the Yankees’ ace then got locked in to prevent any more scoring, New York had to get themselves on the board.
