What happened: Angel Martinez connected on a first-pitch cutter for a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning against the New York Yankees. The 414-foot shot to right-center field drove in David Fry and gave the Cleveland Guardians a temporary 5-4 advantage at Progressive Field.
Why it matters: The blast marked the 10th home run of the season for Martinez, ending a power drought dating back to mid-May. While Cleveland eventually fell 7-5 in extra innings, the home run highlighted the offensive potential of the Cleveland Guardians as they battle for positioning in the American League standings.
By the numbers: Martínez: 1-for-4, HR (10), 2 RBI | HR Distance: 414 feet | Exit Velocity: 104.2 mph | Guardians: 37-31 record | Yankees: 39-26 record.
What to watch: The Guardians continue their series against the Yankees on Tuesday night with Slade Cecconi taking the mound against Gerrit Cole.
