The New York Yankees shutout the Cleveland Indians and stay alive


The New York Yankees defeated the Cleveland Indians on Sunday night.  The game took place at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York and the final score was 1-0.  It was a great game that kept the Yankees alive and headed to game four in NY on Monday night.  Masahiro Tanaka started for the Yankees and he pitched great.  Greg Bird was the only offense for either team with a homerun. 

Tanaka pitched seven innings giving up three hits and no runs.  He walked one and struck out seven and earned the win.  David Robertson pitched 1/3 of an inning walking a batter and Aroldis Chapman picked up the save pitching 1 2/3 innings and giving up two hits and no runs with no walks and four strikeouts. 

Carlos Carrasco pitched 5 2/3 innings giving up three hits and no runs.  He walked three and struck out seven.  Andrew Miller took the loss pitching 2/3 of an inning giving up a hit and a run, Tyler Olson pitched 2/3 of an inning giving up a hit and he struck out two and Joe Smith pitched an inning giving up a walk and he struck out two. 

Brett Gardner had a hit, Aaron Judge drew a walk and Gary Sanchez had a hit.  Didi Gregorious had a hit and drew two walks, Bird had a hit and an RBI and Jacoby Ellsbury drew a walk.  Aaron Hicks had a hit, Gardner hit a double and Bird hit a homerun.  The Yankees were 0-4 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base. 

Jason Kipnis had two hits, Jose Ramirez had a hit and Carlos Santana had a hit and drew a walk.  Michael Brantley drew a walk, Roberto Perez had a hit and Kipnis hit a triple and the Indians were 0-4 with runners in scoring position and left five men on base. 

In the seventh Bird hit a solo homerun to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead and that would be the only run of the game.  The Yankees stayed alive and force game four on Monday night in New York.  The Yankees will look to force a fifth and decisive game and if not the Indians will advance to the ALCS.
