The New York Yankees (16-15) snapped a four-game skid with a 4-2 come-from-behind victory over the Cleveland Guardians (14-16) at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night.
New York fell behind 2-0 in the third inning but tied the game in the sixth on Anthony Volpe’s third home run of the season, and Anthony Rizzo’s two-out RBI single.
Willie Calhoun drilled a solo shot in the seventh, his first as a Yankee, to put the Yankees on top. DJ LeMahieu provided a huge insurance run in the eighth with a two-out RBI single.
