The Yankees drew first blood in their American League Championship Series following a 5-2 win over the Guardians in Game One from the Bronx.
Alex Cobb got the loss after giving up three runs over two-plus innings and Joey Cantillo threw two wild pitches to score runs in his one-out relief appearance.
Cleveland hopes to even the best-of-seven series at one game apiece when Game Two takes place at Yankee Stadium tonight.
