"12-Inning Battle: Guardians Triumph over Yankees in MLB Recap"
Substitute Lane Thomas, a pinch hitter, delivered a crucial double to ignite a six-run 12th inning for the Cleveland Guardians. This helped the team secure a 9-5 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.
Thomas' contribution helped the Guardians avoid a fourth consecutive loss and claim their sixth win in 16 games. The team drew an impressive 14 walks, but also left 20 runners stranded and went 7-for-24 with runners in scoring position.
Jose Ramirez extended the lead with an RBI single, while David Fry and Jhonkensy Noel also contributed to the big inning with a bases-clearing triple and an RBI infield single, respectively. Tim Herrin (5-0) held off the Yankees in the 11th inning before Cleveland's offense exploded in the 12th.

Judge also added a two-run double in the 12th, but the Yankees ultimately fell short. Tim Mayza (0-2) took the loss for the Yankees.
