In the other ALDS, New York takes an early 8 – 3 lead over Cleveland, with a two-run homer by Gary Sanchez and a three-run blast by Aaron Hicks. They chase Corey Kluber before the end of the 3rd inning, but the Indians come back after CC Sabathia is taken out of the game, thanks to a grand slam by Francisco Lindor and a solo homer by Jay Bruce off David Robertson in the 9th. Finally, in the 13th inning, Yan Gomes drives in Austin Jackson from second against a tiring Dellin Betances to give Cleveland a 9 – 8 win and a two-games-to-none lead.
