A tiebreaking homer in the ninth inning, and a walk-off homer in the 10th inning. With two outs and two strikeouts, Cleveland came back from the brink of hell. Emmanuel Clase, the strongest closing pitcher in the Major League, collapsed again, but with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, he tied the game with a dramatic two-run homerun, and David Fry's walk-off two-run homerun in the bottom of the 10th inning also gave him his first win in the series.
Cleveland beat the New York Yankees 7-5 in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) at home on the 18th (Korea time). Although it gave up both away games earlier, it opened its counterattack in Game 3 at home.
Cleveland was trailing 3-5 until the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs. While leading the game 3-1 with runners on the ground, Clase allowed three runs in the top of the eighth inning to come from behind. Clase, who had an ERA of 0.61 and 47 saves during the regular season, took the mound with two outs and one base, but Judge hit a tiebreaking home run. Even before the shock had passed, Stanton, who was crossing the fence for days, even allowed a come-from-behind home run.
Clasé was defeated again in the eighth inning. Hunter Gaddis took the mound in the eighth inning and managed to secure two outs, but when Juan Soto walked, the Cleveland bench immediately increased Clasé. He turned the tables.
The strongest finish he believed collapsed again following the division series. Clase also had a three-run home run in the ninth inning in Game 2 of the Division Series against Detroit on the 8th. Clase, who had only two home runs and five earned runs in 74.1 innings during the regular season, has already had two home runs and six earned runs this fall. A pitcher with a regular season ERA of 0.61 has fallen to 9.00 by this day of the postseason.
However, Cleveland did not collapse. Due to Luke Weaver's pitch, the first two hitters retired as a mistake in the bottom of the ninth inning, but the counterattack continued. With two outs and a double that hit directly at the fence, Lane Thomas saved the spark, and pinch hitter John Kenshi Noel hit a changeup on the second pitch to hit the left side of Progressive Field. It was 5-5, tying with two runs.
The game was over after two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning. Leading hitter Bo Naylor had a hit, but failed to score due to an infield grounder after a sacrifice bunt. Fry entered the batter's box with two outs and runners on the third base. He watched a strike on the second pitch following the first pitch, hit a foul on the third pitch, and got the timing right before missing the sinker in the middle of the fourth pitch. He punished Yankees pitcher Clay Holmes, who chose to sinker for four consecutive pitches, with a finishing two-run shot. It was a dramatic moment for Cleveland, which did not give up until the end, to win despite its collapse of the strongest bullpen in the league. 토토사이트
