Preview
The Guardians struck first in Game 1, with Steven Kwan's one-run home run in the top of the third inning giving Cleveland a 1-0 lead. Unfortunately for the Guardians, they were unable to capitalize on the rest of their opportunities, which included having runners at first and third with one out before Yankees ace Gerrit Cole worked his way out of the jam to finish the third.
New York proceeded to score four unanswered runs, with an Anthony Rizzo two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning giving the Yankees a 4-1 lead -- the game's final score. With that, the Yankees took a 1-0 series lead heading into a pivotal Game 2, which was delayed from Thursday to Friday due to weather.
Ace Shane Bieber will take the mound for the Guardians, who are looking to return to Cleveland for Game 3 on Saturday with a tied series. But if the Guardians are going to do that, they're going to need to have a more active offense than the one they displayed in the series opener.
