Emmanuel Clase was virtually invincible in the regular season. In the postseason, he's been hit hard, and now twice in a row by the Yankees.

For the second straight night in the ALCS the game was decided in the final inning. On Friday night, the Yankees again smacked Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase, but after scoring twice in the top of the ninth they kept the Guardians off the scoreboard and won 8-6.

The New York Yankees are just one victory away from reaching the franchise’s first World Series since 2009. The Yanks held off a resilient Cleveland Guardians team to secure a thrilling 8-6 win in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series on Friday night.
