Heroes, zeros and the inside pitch from the Yankees’ 8-6 win over the Guardians in Game 4 on Friday night in Cleveland:
Hero
Tommy Kahnle got the final three outs and the save — barely — in a game in which both bullpens were a mess.
Follow noti.group’s coverage of the Yankees in the postseason:
Zero
Emmanuel Clase, allegedly the game’s best closer, had another awful postseason performance, giving up the go-ahead runs in the top of the ninth.
Unsung hero
Gleyber Torres’ RBI single in the ninth gave the Yankees an insurance run that was valuable with Kahnle trying to get through the bottom of the inning.
Key stat
2 Yankees players to have hit at least four home runs in a single postseason twice: Reggie Jackson and Giancarlo Stanton, who hit a three-run blast in the sixth.
Quote of the night
“I thought we played an excellent game. Not a perfect game, but a gritty, tough, winning game.”
— Aaron Boone
