Yanks complete comeback, beat Indians 5-2 in Game 5 of ALDS
CLEVELAND — These young Yankees were unshaken, resilient and as tough as the city they represent.
The baby Bronx Bombers have grown up fast.
Didi Gregorius, following in the October footprints left by Derek Jeter, homered twice off Corey Kluber as New York beat the Cleveland Indians 5-2 in Game 5 on Wednesday night to complete its comeback from a 2-0 deficit in the Division Series and dethrone the AL champions.
The bend-but-don’t-break Yankees, way ahead of schedule, staved off elimination for the fourth time in this post-season and advanced to play the Houston Astros in the AL Championship Series starting Friday night at Minute Maid Park.
