Gerrit Cole navigated traffic with the ball in his hands. He has a superb game! After working hard in the first innings, Cole settled in and retired 12 of the final 14 batters he faced. Cleveland did not have another runner to advance as far as a second base while he was on the mound.

"It was very special for me. It was very special," Cole said with a smile when asked about the ovation he received after Game 1. "The game's not over -- I left with traffic -- it's not the most comfortable time to acknowledge the crowd but I appreciated it."

Anthony Rizzo chipped in with a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning which put the match to bed. New York is now two wins away from advancing to the ALCS.
