Cade Smith, who recorded the save on Monday night, took care of business for Cleveland in the ninth again on Tuesday. He mowed down Jasson Domínguez, Austin Wells and Oswaldo Cabrera on fouyr pitches to end the ballgame.

Later in the at-bat, Manzardo hit a low liner to right field. Judge took two steps in and tried for a diving catch. He missed, and he wasn’t able to knock the ball down. It bounced past him as Jones scored, and Manzardo reached second base as center fielder Cody Bellinger backed up Judge. Judge called it a “do-or-die” play.

Judge's perfect night raised his average to .411, but the Yankees allowed three runs in the sixth to fall behind 3-2.
