Guardians vs. Yankees Game Highlights (8/22/24) | MLB Highlights

Yankees are in first place by half game over the Orioles. And with the loss yesterday, the Guardians find the Twins and the Royals creeping closer because if they can split the series this year, that's the tiebreaker in case you have happened to be up in the postseason and you go to another one, but Garrett Cole will be our starting pitcher. Well, 150 that's a big number for a pitcher and he is seeking his 150th career win today with a line drive single into center field. And that's something that has been sorely lacking his first hit in the series. Will Brennan swinging going to pop up right by the pitcher's mound waiting for it is Ben Rice coming over Cabrera, the third baseman on the right side of the infield makes the catch Garrett Cole against ramirez. Ramirez 12 for 33 3, 64 against Cole. That one has ripped to right field that stays up there for. So you might remember that Naylor homered off Cole in game four of the 2022 A L Ds and he did his rock the baby celebration. Juan is running. He didn't stop him. Pitches down low and he goes into center field. Guan will go all the way to third. Puts Gary Cole in a tough situation here chopped to first backhanded by rice and he flips high but the grab is made by Cole and the side is retired gavin Williams first ever start , not only at Yankee Stadium but against the Yanks. No score. Labor Torres leads off the Yankee first line drive left field, juan a shoestring catch. Did the leather get under it? Now that ball hit the ground? That's a base hit. After review, the call on the field is overturned. There's no catch leadoff man aboard for New York. Juan Soto to the plate swing and a miss a challenge with a four seed fastball and blew it by him. Here's aaron Judge two home runs yesterday. He is on pace now for 60 off the end of the bat right field in comes Will Brennan two down. Judge and SOTO for the first time this series retired in the first inning. Austin Wells, the Yankee catcher swing and a miss. He struck him out. He strikes him out twice in the first. Right now. We got a little argument at home plate. Garrett Cole is incensed over something with home plate umpire Derrick Thomas happy about the number of warm up pitches where Thomas said you have enough starting off the count with 10 to john Kenzie Noel and he walked him on three pitches. So now it's up for Garrett to settle himself down, swing and a miss strike three, the knuckle curve just dropping and dying first strikeout of the day for Garrett Cole, high fly ball soto drifts back, puts it away. 22 soft ground ball short stop BPE. They get the force and his side retired. You see Garrett Cole, he didn't want to hear it. Now, Stan has been struggling last seven games four for 24 slowed it down and he did. He get a piece of it. No, but ball recovers and throws him out the two, two swing and a Miss Williams strikes out Volpi back to back walks with two outs issued here by Gerri Cole, josh Naylor who's hitless in his last 15 advance swing and a fly ball left field moving toward the line. Verdugo has the sunglasses on, reaches up, makes the catch and the side is retired but a laborious top of the third for Cole cabrera starts off the inning with a good time to get in motion here to put a little pressure on the Guardian. Maybe two. Jimenez Taroko back to first. They turn the double play the payoff swing and a miss five strikeouts for gavin Williams, aaron Judge 1st 27 games. He was hitting 178 averaging a home run over 25 at bats. Since Then. He's homered every eight at bats , high fly ball right field and deep Brennan back on the track at the wall. See you. He's done it again. His 48th home run of the year. The show continues one nothing yanks six home runs in the last seven games for Aaron Judge. Judge is now on pace for 60. I knew you'd have a pace. 6161 Michael. There's a fumble here. I just spilled coffee all over the place. I think you got excited and you completely dump a full cup of coffee. This isn't good. Gavin Williams in a jam. Bases loaded, two outs, one nothing yanks. Bottom of the fourth Cabrera popped him up fighting the sun. Jose ramirez called off by Brian and the Yankees leave them loaded. Guardians trying to come back and win this game. They would earn a split of the season series and the payoff swing and a miss got him on the knuckle curve. That's a beauty is absolutely filthy swing and a ground ball sharply hit to second base. Torres is up with it. Throws to first another 123 innings for Gerrit Cole. He sat down seven in a row and back to back walks have started the inning. Now you've got juan soto zero for two double play ball and that is to for one and he couldn't get the ball out of his glove and into his throwing hand cleanly. Nick Sandlin comes on in relief of Gavin Williams runs in the corners with one away for aaron Judge and they're going to intentionally walk him two all to ST Louis take first, let's not mess around. It's a load. The bases up here. Austin Wells at a big spot. That one is driven in the left center freeman almost misplayed it, but hauls it in for the second out tagging and scoring easily as Rice. It's a sack fly for Wells and it's two nothing Yankees. Here's Giancarlo Stanton. He got an opportunity to break this open. Big G can put something in the gap. High fly ball, deep center Freeman back. He's on the track. He leads. That's gone a three run home run off the bat of John Carlos Stanton and the Yankees have busted it open in the fifth. They are ahead five to nothing. He was virtually doing a split four pitch walk and Jose ramirez draws the fourth walk off. Garrett Cole. Now the pitch a swing and the throw goes to ramirez off and he's in easily that 3030 for our guy Jose Ramirez. I believe that's you got it there. It is. That's his 30th. Congratulations. He does it twice for him. It's unusual you have five walks by Cole and just two strikeouts. Let's see, maybe a three pointer here. That would be chop the second, there's one and there's two. Torres stepped on second by to first and they get the double play cos day is done. He gave them six innings of one hit, scoreless ball. He starts off his day with a leadoff walk and the pitch to Oswaldo Cabrera grounds one on the right side flagged down and right by jim spins and throws to first to get cabrera, the Gold Glover again with unlimited to his left. Juan Soto up with an opportunity with two outs here, tied him up. Good pitch Gillespie strikes him out. We comes in and the Yankee dream would be for him to get five outs here for jose. It's his third of the afternoon. We mentioned earlier, the twins in the Royals breathing down their neck in the central in a division that looked like they were going to run away with it. Swing and a miss it is a double for Volpi and he now has an extra base hit in three straight games. It is a stolen base number 23 for Volpi. He's at third with one away. We talk about slums, Ben Rice. He's a young man did very well starting out but now in the zone for two days one for his last 25 he needs a hit high fly ball right center field. Thomas back coming over is the center field of freeman. He makes the catch attacking and scoring is B it's a long s fly for Rice. He'll take it. It's six. Not yanks trying to get the final three outs. The right arm of Michael Tonkin swing and a miss there strike three Tonan fans know well and there's one away here in the ninth. Here's the 22 swing and a miss strike three and out away from securing the win and getting a big series victory over Cleveland. I'm just glad to have any. This should do it. Hedges grounds to third and the Yankees win 60 and take two out of three from the Guardians a one hit shutout. The Guardians lose five out of six. Their lead in the American League central division has shrunk to two games and Garrett Cole's 150th career win a good afternoon here in the Bronx.
