Starter Alex Cobb threw only 2 2/3 innings in the loss, giving up three earned runs on five hits, walking three and striking out three. Carlos Rodon started for the Yankees and threw six strong innings, allowing just one run on three hits and striking out nine.

Game 2 is Tuesday night at 7:38 PM Eastern.

Here’s how social media reacted to the game.

‘I really don’t like Vogt pinching for Fry. I understand Brennan has been their best pinch hitter, but Fry has hit well. Leaving Alex Cobb in two batters too long after a trainer’s visit. Then we turn to the rookie Cantillo… IMO, that’s three bad decisions from Vogt tonight,” Fox 8’s John Sabol posted this.

“Total giveaway. We beat Skubal, so obviously we can beat Cole. I don’t like Stanton coming to life, changes their whole setup. I could really use a Jose and Josh Naylor game,” Anthony Lima of 92.3 The Fan posted.

“At the end of the day, the Guardians duo of Jose Ramirez and Josh Naylor need to get up to speed. You can’t win the pennant without those two. One thing: ask Met fans how they felt after game 1 of their series. It is now a seven-race marathon. Tomorrow: Gerrit Cole vs. Tanner Bibee,” Fox college basketball announcer John Fanta has reported.

“The Yankees prove tonight that standing still in the penalty box while the balls bounce around your feet and fly over your head is a winning baseball strategy,” Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com posted.

“I had to bring Cobb back, but I’m not sure it was the best idea to put a player who has never pitched in the postseason into a bases-loaded situation,” Danny Cunningham of 92.3 The Fan and the Locked posted on Cavaliers podcast.

‘Maybe not popular, but Josh Naylor gets on my nerves’ Mike Bormann from BigPlay posted.

“The Guardians struck out 14, scored only twice and would still have been in Game 1 if not for the disastrous third inning. This series is not out of reach for Cleveland.” Jon Doss of WEWS-TV posted.

“Probably a moot point, but it felt like Vogt didn’t have to burn down the entire bench and put the Guardians in a spot where Austin Hedges got two at-bats late,” Aram Leighton of the Just Baseball Show reported.

“Rocchio and Kwan the best baseball players of all time? Some say: ‘ Jordan Zirm of Sporting News posted this.

“If you’re the Guardians, you can take solace in the fact that your big bullpen arms got a breather and that 60% of the damage tonight was self-inflicted,” MLB editorial producer Casey Drottar posted.

“I can’t remember off the top of my head a time when I’ve seen a player go through a tough rookie year like Rocchio did and then become such a reliable player in the playoffs like this. But to win the playoffs, you need guys to flip the script like that sometimes,” Justin Lada from the Locked on Guardians podcast posted.
