Guardians rally past Yankees in 10th inning to tie ALDS at 1-1

Oscar Gonzalez singled in the go-ahead run with Cleveland's second straight bloop hit in the 10th inning, and the Guardians overcame a two-run deficit to beat the New York Yankees 4-2 Friday and even their best-of-five AL Division Series at one game apiece.

Gonzalez, whose 15th-inning homer Saturday completed a first-round sweep of Tampa Bay in the wild-card round, followed with a 59 mph, 164-foot opposite-field flare into short right off Taillon, who made his first big league relief appearance after 143 starts. Josh Naylor added an RBI double that bounced on a hop off the wall in right-centre.

"We just try find a way on base," Naylor said. "If it's a bloop hit, it's a bloop hit. If it's a hard-hit single, double, whatever the case it, we just try to hustle. try to make things happen on the field, try to put pressure on the defence."

Winner Emmanuel Clase pitched 2 1/3 innings, his most in the major leagues, and combined with Trevor Stephan and Karinchak for four 1/3 innings of one-hit relief as Cleveland stopped a six-game post-season losing streak to the Yankees.

Clase retired Kyle Higashioka on a lineout to Ramirez for the final out of the eighth after James Karinchak walked the bases loaded. Clase threw 33 pitches, 10 more than his season high.

"It was preparing mentally and remembering when I was a starter in the minor leagues and try to do the same thing," Clase said through a translator.
