No amount of Yankee heroics could be enough to stop the Cleveland Guardians from getting at least one game back in the American League Championship Series. In fact, they needed some heroics of their own.
In a wild, back-and-forth contest that required the intensity of extra innings, the Guardians took Game 3 of the ALCS from the New York Yankees with a 7-5 win.
Cleveland took a 3-1 lead in the game before surrendering back-to-back home runs to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton – giving the Yankees a 4-3 lead in the top of the eighth that was extended to 5-3 the following inning.
But it was pinch hitter Jhonkensy Noel that tied the game with a colossal two-run home run that forced extra innings.
There, in the bottom of the tenth, with a runner on third-base, David Fry launched a 399 foot blast to give Cleveland the victory.
