CLEVELAND, OHIO — Well folks, your New York Yankees were about as splendid as advertised. The Bronx Bombers carpet-bombed the Cleveland Indians in Game 1 of their American League Wild Card Series, with a 12-3 victory.
A lot of prognosticators thought the Yankees would be overmatched against Shane Bieber but as we learned, never say never. That’s because the Yankee lineup ate up the Tribe and it was yummy.
What do you mean? I mean the Bronx Bombers were aggressive and kept the peddle to the meddle. Batting champion DJ LeMahieu set the table with a “Jeterian” leadoff single during the first frame.
