Giancarlo Stanton had a hit, Aaron Judge had a hit and drew a walk and Gleyber Torres had a hit.  Gio Urshela drew a walk, Aaron Hicks had a hit and an RBI and Clint Frazier drew a walk.  Roughned Odor had a hit, an RBI and drew a walk.  Judge hit a double and Hicks and Odor each hit a homerun.  The Yankees were 0-5 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base. 

Jose Ramirez had a hit, Eddie Rosario had a hit and an RBI and Roberto Perez had a hit and drew a walk.  Perez hit a double, Ramirez hit a triple and the Indians were 1-6 with runners in scoring position and left three men on base.  Rosario had a stolen base. 

In the bottom of the fourth Rosario hit an RBI single to give the Indians a 1-0 lead.  In the fifth Hicks hit a solo homerun to tie the game at one and Odor hit a solo homerun to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead.  2-1 would be the final score.
