Game Analysis
New York avoided the series sweep by beating Cleveland 1-0 on Sunday, as Masahiro Tanaka tossed an absolute gem and Greg Bird’s upper-deck home run, “We’ve got a chance,” Bird said. “We’re going to keep playing.” Now, the Yankees get to face Bauer and Cleveland’s outstanding bullpen again after getting dominated in Game 1. “Flexibility was one of the things we talked about early on, and now it’s going to get a chance to hopefully really help us,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “That’s the idea.” Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman was forced to toss five innings to close out the Tribe in game 3.
