Best-of-5 series: Tied 2-2
Regular-season series: Yankees won 5-1
The Guardians blew a golden opportunity to finish off the heavily-favored Yankees Sunday night in Game at Progressive Field but lost 4-2. Now, Cleveland faces the unsavory task of playing a decisive Game 5 in front of a hostile New York crowd.
Cleveland proved it can win in the Bronx before, however, winning 4-2 in 10 innings Friday in Game 2. In that game, Monday’s Yankees starter RHP Jameson Taillon was the losing pitcher after allowing 2 ER on 3 H without recording an out in the 10th inning.
