Though the 2 extra runs didn't factor in the final score, those were 2 fantastic ab's by Frazier and Gardner against Allen in the top of the 9th. If Cleveland goes out in the top and gets a quick 1-2-3 inning, down by 1, there's at least a glimmer of hope in the bottom. But Frazier and Gardner fouled off a 100 pitches and lulled that defense to sleep, leading to a defensive error and killed any hope they had against Chapman.
I don't care for the Yankees, but I got no love for Cleveland either.
