A strong bounce-back performance from Will Warren was spoiled by a messy sixth inning on Tuesday, as the Yankees fell to the Cleveland Guardians, 3-2, at Progressive Field.
Here are the takeaways...
-- It didn't take long for Ben Rice to prove that his bruised left elbow was healed. The Yankees' rookie slugger, making his first start since Saturday, took the first pitch thrown by Guardians starter Tanner Bibee deep over the tall left-center field wall for a leadoff home run. The 377-foot blast was Rice's sixth of the season, which ranks tied for 14th in the majors.
