Yankees cruise to Game 1 win after Gerrit Cole escapes jam
NEW YORK — Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole could have melted down. In the third inning of Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Tuesday, Cole gave up a solo home run to Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan — who hit six in the regular season — before loading the bases by hitting shortstop Amed Rosario with a pitch, giving up a double to slugger Jose Ramirez and allowing first baseman Josh Naylor to reach first on a fielder's choice with just one out recorded in the inning.
