Trailing 5-3 entering the bottom of the ninth inning, the Guardians rallied to come from behind and take Game 3 of the New York Yankees 6-5. Game 4 is Sunday night at Progressive Field.

The situation called for a more experienced closer, but Clay Holmes never came out of the Yankees’ bullpen.Gonzalez’s two-run single, on a 1-2 curveball by Schmidt with two out, allowed Cleveland to dance off with a win.

After an RBI single by Amed Rosario and a bloop single by Jose Ramirez, Schmidt struck out Josh Naylor before Gonzalez sent everyone home.Yeah, the Yankees aren’t the hard-to-strikeout, put-it-in-play Guardians. And it started with Judge, in his second at-bat, batting for the first time in awhile out of the leadoff spot.

After his first-inning strikeout against Triston McKenzie, Judge crushed a 449-foot, game-tying two-run homer to center off McKenzie in the third.
