Yankees cough up 10th-inning lead as shaky defense costs them Guardians sweep
NY Post
CLEVELAND — The Yankees had already wrapped up a fifth straight series victory by the time they showed up to Progressive Field on Sunday.
But battling back to tie the series finale in the top of the ninth and take a two-run lead in the 10th only made it sting more when they got walked off on in the bottom of the inning.
With a chance to sweep in dramatic fashion, the Yankees were let down by some shaky infield defense as they fell to the Guardians 8-7 in 10 innings on Sunday afternoon.
Ex-Met Andres Gimenez delivered the final blow, hitting a one-out sacrifice fly off Caleb Ferguson to win it for the Guardians (10-5) and leave the Yankees (12-4) ruing a few key defensive misplays earlier in the inning.
“Tough one,” manager Aaron Boone said. “Again though, the compete is so good with this group. We just didn’t make a few plays we needed to make. Certainly when you grind through and get a lead there, it’s always tough [to lose], but onward and got a big series starting [Monday against the Blue Jays].”
After Anthony Rizzo’s two-run single in the top of the 10th gave the Yankees a 7-5 lead, the Guardians quickly got one run back on a single by Jose Ramirez off Ferguson.
