The hero, zero, and inside pitch of the Yankees' 6-3 Game 2 win over the Guardians on Tuesday night in the Bronx:
hero
For a unit that entered the postseason with some question marks, the Yankees' bullpen was nearly hitless, but on this night they acquired Gerrit Cole, who was lackluster, and pitched 4 2/3 innings. He allowed 1 goal.
zero
Cleveland desperately needed a good start and some length from Tanner Bibby, but the right-hander lasted only 1¹/₃ innings, leaving the Guardians in a bad position for the rest of the series.
The unsung hero
It's easy to say Tim Hill is a little-known lefty, but he received a standing ovation after getting five key outs.

Aaron Judge hit one home run this postseason, which was a huge sigh of relief for the Yankees, who continued to struggle in the postseason.
tonight's quote
“I've been booed so many times here. There's a lot of legends who have played here who have been booed. That's just a few. You can't focus on that. You have to go out there. They want to see you win. They want to see you do well. You have to focus on what you can control.”
