"Baseball starts from 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th inning."
The game is not over until the end. The Cleveland Indians of the U.S. Major League Baseball beat the New York Yankees in the bottom of the ninth inning by hitting a dramatic two-out tie-breaking home run and an extended walk-off home run.
Cleveland beat the Yankees 7-5 in Game 3 of the ALCS at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio, the U.S. on the 18th (Korea time). After turning the game back to square one with pinch hitter John Kenzie Noel's dramatic two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth inning, just before losing 3-5, Cleveland beat the Yankees in a come-from-behind victory with David Fry's walk-off two-run home run in the bottom of the 10th inning. Cleveland, which has won and lost its first game of the series, will try to win consecutive games in Game 4 at 9:10 a.m. on the same venue on the 19th.
The closing pitchers of the two teams collapsed side by side, and the game was mixed in the second half. The atmosphere was tilted toward the Yankees in the top of the eighth inning when Cleveland was leading 3-1. When Juan Soto walked to the base after two outs, Cleveland put in closing pitcher Emmanuel Clase, who had 47 saves and 0.61 ERA in this year's regular season when Aaron Judge was at bat. 메이저놀이터
Judge hit 58 homeruns this season to rank No. 1 overall in the Major League, and hit a tying two-run shot that drove Clasé's cut fastball, which was driven low from the outside, to hit a straight line across the right fence under unfavorable conditions such as ball count and one ball and two strikes. Judge displayed his first cannon of this year's postseason in the second game of the ALCS two days ago, and hit home runs in two consecutive games.
Soon after, Jean-Carlo Stanton hit Clase's slider to draw a come-from-behind solo arch that slightly crossed the right-center wall. Clase allowed only two homers in 74 ⅓ innings during the regular season, but had two homers in a row before catching an out count on the day.
Yankees added one run on a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, and seemed to be in a win-stabilizing position. However, Luke Weaver of the Yankees, who turned into a firefighter in the postseason, collapsed with a long shot.
In the bottom of the ninth inning with a 5-3 lead, Weaver caught a two-out well and was hit by a double to the left-center by Rain Thomas. Pinch-hitter Noel immediately appeared and rolled up Weaver's changeup to hit the left-hand side wall.
When the Yankees lost a chance at the top of the 10th inning with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, they had a chance to end the game with two outs and a sending bunt. Fry then pulled the sinker of the Yankees Clay Holmes and drew a parabolic line heading to the left-center, ending the game with a victory.
