New York outscored the Guardians 18-11 during the series, posting its first sweep of Cleveland since April 22-24, 2022.
Leadoff hitter Angel Martinez homered on Rodon’s second pitch in the first, but New York answered with three runs in the second. Grisham and Caballero each singled and scored on Chisholm’s triple off the wall.
Chisholm scored one batter later when Travis Bazzana fumbled Volpe’s grounder into the outfield. Messick also committed a throwing error in the inning.
Cleveland scored twice in the fourth to tie it at 3-all, taking advantage of back-to-back walks to Bazzana and Stuart Fairchild. Austin Hedges doubled in Bazzana and Brayan Rocchio’s sacrifice fly brought home Fairchild.
Hedges had a second RBI double in the ninth off Ryan Yarbrough, resulting in the Yankees getting closer David Bednar warmed up. Yarbrough retired the next two hitters to end the game.

Jul 23, 2025; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Johan Rojas (23) hits an RBI single against the Boston Red Sox in the eleventh inning at Citizens Bank Park. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Johan Rojas will not return from suspension after all with the club ruling him out for the remainder of the season on Wednesday to undergo elbow surgery.

Wednesday’s Phillies game against the Toronto Blue Jays was the 68th game of the suspension.
As Rojas increased baseball activities in anticipation of his return, right elbow discomfort led to imaging that revealed a UCL tear. Surgery is scheduled for the coming weeks with the 25-year-old expected to be at full strength for the start of spring training next season.
Rojas appeared in 71 games for the Phillies in 2025 and batted .224 with one home run, 18 RBIs and 12 stolen bases. In 250 career games over three seasons, all in Philadelphia, Rojas has amassed six homers, 73 RBIs and 51 stolen bases while batting .252.
