What happened: Ryan McMahon connected for a fly ball to left-center field that was initially ruled in play before being overturned to a home run upon umpire review. The top-of-the-fifth blast off Guardians starter Gavin Williams marked McMahon's seventh homer of the season.

Why it matters: The reversal provided the Yankees a go-ahead 4-3 lead in a tightly contested divisional matchup at Progressive Field. Since joining the Yankees at the 2025 trade deadline, McMahon has solidified the infield while adding power to the middle of the order during their 2026 campaign.

What to watch: The Yankees look to protect their slim lead as the bullpen prepares for a high-leverage middle-inning stretch against the Guardians' heart of the order.
