CLEVELAND, Ohio — While the big hit once again eluded the Guardians in Tuesday’s American League Championship Series Game 2 loss to the Yankees, there were some strains of offense that managed to appear in the Bronx.

The New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Guardians 6-3 to take a 2-0 lead in the American League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium in New York City on Tuesday. The Yankees' Aaron Judge hit his first home run of the playoffs.

Stephen Vogt wanted David Fry to come to spring training as a full-time catcher and get a lot of reps behind the plate before sprinkling in some outfield and first base. Fry's versatility was a key reason for the Cleveland Guardians ' early-season success, but now he's appeared primarily as a designated hitter in the second half of the season.
