Yankees 8, Cleveland 0: For once, an easy win

The Yankees entered their three-game series against Cleveland badly needing to start a period of excellent play. Thankfully, they were able to get an stress-free victory behind Corey Kluber’s best start since his no-hitter, and lots and lots of home runs.

Kluber was able to work a scoreless first, working around a José Ramírez infield single that Gleyber Torres made a nice diving play on to keep it from going into the outfield, followed by a stolen base. Cleveland starter Zach Plesac matched him in the bottom half, with singles by DJ LeMahieu and Aaron Judge being erased by a Giancarlo Stanton double play.
