Pinch-hitter Jhonkensy Noel tied the score with a two-out home run in the ninth inning and David Fry hit a two-run homer in the 10th, giving Cleveland a 7-5 victory over the New York Yankees on Thursday and leading to the Guardians at 2. -1 in the American League Championship Series.
Cleveland led 3-1 in the eighth inning before Aaron Choose hit a two-run homer off All-Star closer Emanuel Clase and Giancarlo Stanton followed with a solo homer.
With the Guardians trailing 5-3 and one away from falling into a 3-0 series deficit, Lane Thomas doubled off Luke Weaver in the ninth and Noel tied the score.
Bo Naylor singled leading off the 10th against Clay Holmes, Brayan Rocchio sacrificed and Naylor took third with a comeback. Fry, who hit a Division Series-saving home run against Detroit, sent a 1-2 sinker into the left-field stands.
Fry was mobbed by his teammates and the fans at Progressive Area erupted in cheers.
Cleveland can tie the series with a win on Friday.
