hero
Gerrit Cole returned to ace form after an eventful first game.
He allowed just one run in seven innings.
zero
Easy 4-5-6. Among Kansas City's order, Salvador Perez, Yuli Gurriel and MJ Melendez lost a total of 11 games with zero hits.
The unsung hero
Gleyber Torres not only started the game with a double and a run scored in the first inning, but also served as a peacemaker in the bottom of the sixth inning after the benches were cleared with the Yankees leading by two runs.
If he could be ejected, it could be a blow to the Yankees.
Main status
The last time the Yankees played a team other than the Astros in the ALCS was 12 years ago, when they lost to the Tigers in 2012.
Detroit could be the opponent again if they beat Cleveland in the ALDS on Saturday.
