This game had a little bit of everything. It was long balls versus small ball for awhile, but Cleveland’s two errors on Austin Romine’s seventh-inning double proved the difference in the contest. The Yankees defeated the Indians 5-4 at Progressive Field in Cleveland.
Brett Gardner got the game started in the same way he has so many times before. The team’s spark plug drew a six-pitch walk, Aaron Judge followed with a single, and Didi Gregorius crushed his 17th home run of the year to give the Yankees a quick 3-0 lead before making an out in the first inning.
