The Indians overcame an 8-3 deficit, a bad start by ace Corey Kluber and a potentially serious injury to slugger Edwin Encarnacion. The pitcher whose creaky knee nearly made him quit in the middle of his 17 season had outlasted likely Cy Young Award victor Corey Kluber. Somehow, some way, Francona continues to make decisions that seem questionable from the outside but work out perfectly. The Yankees counter with C.C. Sabathia (14-5, 3.69 ERA). Asked about his ability to win after losses on Thursday, Sabathia didn't have an answer, saying "it's one of those stats of the year, I guess".

Chapman himself threw two scoreless innings in the ninth and 10th, but started warming up as early as the sixth inning.

Instead of seizing momentum by tying the best-of-five series at one game apiece, the Yankees trail 2-0 heading into Game 3 Sunday night at the Stadium.

"Well, we looked at. you know, it's kind of what we've done all year with (Chad) Green".

"Brett Weber has been so good at what he does that when he tells me that something's not inconclusive, I believe him, because he's been so good", said Girardi, whose team has consistently led Major League Baseball in successful replay challenges since the system was introduced. "Whichever way that happens, and if it happens and we advance, it doesn't matter who pitches when, in my mind".

Francisco Lindor came next and crushed a tide-turning grand slam that made it 8-7. Jay Bruce provided the offense with three RBIs, including a two-run home run.

Trevor Bauer struck out eight and walked just one over six and two-thirds innings, not allowing a hit until Aaron Hicks doubled with one out in the sixth.

"They gave their ideas for it and why they had their ideas for it, and I didn't have a problem with it", Kluber said. "Our guys have been great all year".
