    Yankees vs Cleveland Guardians live score, ALCS Game 3 updates

    CLEVELAND – This is Clarke Schmidt’s second postseason start, aiming to move the Yankees one game closer to the World Series.

    “We know we’re going out in a tough environment,” Schmidt said ahead of Game 3 of the AL Championship Series against the Guardians at Progressive Field on Thursday.

    But with a 2-0 lead in games, “it’s business as usual,” Schmidt said. “We’re trying to get the job done as quickly as possible.”

    Way back in April, Schmidt pitched here and limited the Guardians to one run over five innings in a 3-2 Yankees victory. On this late afternoon it’s a crisp 57 degrees and clear downtown…and off we go.

    Follow here for our live analysis during ALCS Game 3:

    Yankees strike first

    Okay, a bit to unpack here. But first Jose Trevino – who started just fourteen games in the second half – singles past a draw infield, and it’s 1-0 Yanks in the second inning.

    After Volpe’s walk, Alex Verdugo doubled (after an initial pause) and Trevino came through. And then the Yanks messed up the bases again.

    With runners on the corners, Trevino is eliminated at first base and the Yankees lose a potential extra run. It’s 1-0 Yanks, and they’re still a nightmare on the bases.

    On that Verdugo double, Boone came out to argue…something. We’ll find out later. The second time he was there today, the first was during the automatic attack on Soto.

    Who leads the Yankees in walks this postseason?

    Not Judge, not Soto, but Anthony Volpe, who opens the second inning with his seventh free pass in seven games this postseason.

    Guards threaten, Clarke Schmidt fights back

    Cleveland opened the first with a walk and a bloop single, but Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt retired the next three batters – starting with a swinging strikeout of the dangerous Jose Ramirez on a 1-2 curveball.

    Jon Berti initially looked a bit off balance when fielding Josh Naylor’s hot grounder, but Berti made the play unassisted, and Lane Thomas left two runners in scoring position when Schmidt grounded him out.

    Later in the game, when the Yankees have a lead, Anthony Rizzo looms as a defensive replacement at first base.

    Gleyber Torres gets it done during the lead-off

    Torres led off Game 3 with a walk on a full-count throw from Matthew Boyd, the sixth time in seven 2024 postseason games that he reached safely to pace the Yanks.

    But the lefty starter worked around the two walks in a scoreless first inning, with help from center fielder Lane Thomas’ sliding catch on a Juan Soto liner (after Soto contested a first strike with a timer violation).

    Boyd took out both Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. (3-for-24 in postseason) while striking out, elevated to the No. 5 spot with Austin Wells (0 for his last 19) benched in favor of catcher Jose Trevino.
