In a game that felt more like a roller coaster ride than a baseball game, the Yankees moved within one win from the World Series, taking down the Cleveland Guardians 8-6 in a thrilling Game 4 victory.
With the game tied at six entering the top of the ninth, Anthony Rizzo, Anthony Volpe, Alex Verdugo, and Gleyber Torres each came through against Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase to put New York ahead.
Gleyber Torres, as he has many times this postseason, led the game off with a single, which was followed by a two-run home run by Juan Soto, giving the Yankees an early 2-0 lead.
The Yankees didn't wait long to grow their lead back to two, as Austin Wells, who has struggled for much of the postseason, hit a towering home run over the right field fence, his first of the postseason.
