The Yankees evened up their series with the Guardians with an exclamation point, stomping them to the tune of a 10-2 blowout. Gerrit Cole saw Shane Bieber recover from a rocky first last night and decided that he could do that as well, pitching seven innings of quality work after a two-run opening frame from Cleveland. The New York offense jumped on Hunter Gaddis in a big third inning, and it was smooth sailing from there.
Steven Kwan started off the night by getting good wood on a high and inside fastball, singling to center. Gleyber Torres then couldn’t quite come up with a hard-hit grounder off the bat of Andres Giménez.
