CLEVELAND Over the past few seasons, the Indians’ bats have proven that they can produce a deafening silence for short- or long-term stretches. And when Cleveland was in the middle of one of its worst skids in September of last season, José Ramírez almost single-handedly put the offense back on track.
Now, it’s Franmil Reyes’ turn to do the same.
The Indians couldn’t afford a four-game sweep in the middle of a crucial homestand against the White Sox, Yankees and Twins. So, Reyes assured that wouldn’t happen with a go-ahead, three-run homer, his second triple of the series and his first career stolen base to help lift Cleveland to a 7-3 victory over the Yankees on Sunday afternoon at Progressive Field. Reyes became the first player since Sept. 17, 2019, with at least one triple, a homer and a stolen base in a game (the last was Toronto s Cavan Biggio).

As the Yankees eyed another new-look lineup upon arrival to the visiting clubhouse at Progressive Field on Thursday, the unspoken message was one of urgency. Their belief in the potential of a run-scoring juggernaut has not wilted, but there was no attempt to camouflage the reality that results need to happen now.
A few big knocks provided a boost as the Yankees opened their eight-game road trip with encouraging signs of life from their slumbering lumber. Rougned Odor’s go-ahead two-run single in the seventh inning put his club in the driver’s seat as the Bombers posted a 6-3 victory over the Indians.
