NEW YORK (AP) — Willie Calhoun snapped a seventh-inning tie with his first home run for the New York Yankees, who beat the Guardians 4-2 to stop a four-game slide.
Gerrit Cole settled down after a rocky start and rookie Anthony Volpe homered in the sixth to begin New York’s comeback from a two-run deficit.
Gleyber Torres followed with a double that chased impressive Cleveland rookie Tanner Bibee, and Anthony Rizzo’s single off reliever James Karinchak tied it.
With one out in the seventh, Calhoun lined an 0-2 curveball from Karinchak to right field for his first major league home run since April 11, 2022, with Texas.
New York, which is last in the AL East, had dropped seven of nine.
