The one-time future of the Mets is trying to ruin the present of the Yankees.
Through nine innings Friday, Andres Gimenez and Amed Rosario, both former top Mets prospects, matched the offensive production of the current Yankees. In the 10th inning, the rest of the Guardians picked up the slack in Cleveland’s 4-2, Game 2 victory in The Bronx, which knotted the ALDS at a game apiece.
The Yankees jumped to a two-run lead in the first inning before the young players Cleveland received in the January 2021 trade for Francisco Lindor went to work.
In the fourth inning, Cleveland mounted a two-out threat when Josh Naylor hit an infield single and Owen Miller walked. Gimenez, who batted .333 with runners in scoring position this season, stuck out his bat and redirected a Nestor Cortes slider into right field to provide Cleveland its first run.
