Another fun one tonight. Guardians really got to Cole (for what felt like the first time ever) and tagged him for 4 runs in 5.1 innings. Manzardo continued his hot streak with a homer in his first AB today.
Chisholm homered off Gavin (who was a little shaky tonight) in the bottom of the second, and Hoskins gave the Guardians the lead in the 4th.
Caballero
homered in the bottom of this inning to bring the Yankees back within a run (a homer that had questionable fan interference, although a crew chief review deemed the interference insufficient to overturn the homer).
Jose, too, stayed hot with a homer in the 6th (his 2nd of 3 hits tonight).
A Bellinger sacrifice fly brought the Yankees back within a run, but Hoskins tacked on (another) insurance run in the top of the 8th with an RBI single. This followed after Jose singled (to the wall in right) and Manzardo doubled (a 409’ flyball to the deep part of Yankee Stadium).
Cade Smith was a little shaky in the 9th, but managed to close out the game. He gave up a leadoff double to Goldschmidt, who advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on a Bellinger sacrifice fly.
Some fun tidbits:
Jose last 10: .307/.368/.547, 8BB:8K, 3 HR, 5 SB.
Manzardo last 20: .306/.403/.629, 5 HR, 8 RBI.
Hoskins last 20: .229/.375/.500, 13BB:17K, 3 HR, 11 RBI.
The Guardians look to secure the sweep tomorrow. It’ll be Cecconi vs. Rodon.
