Cody Bellinger's 2-run single with bases loaded in 10th propels Yankees to 7-5
win over Guardians

CLEVELAND (AP) --- Cody Bellinger hit a two-run single with the bases loaded in
the 10th inning and the New York Yankees defeated the Cleveland Guardians 7-5
on Monday night.
Paul Goldschmidt and Ryan McMahon homered for the Yankees, who won for the
first time in four extra-inning games this season.
Angel Martnez connected for a two-run homer in the fifth to give the Guardians
a 5-4 lead before Goldschmidt's grounder in the eighth drove in Trent Grisham
to tie it.
With Ali Snchez as the automatic runner in the 10th, Ben Rice was
intentionally walked with one out. Max Schuemann challenged a called strike
three on a full count and got it overturned to ball four, loading the bases.
The Guardians pulled their infield in, but Bellinger's base hit to left field
off Shawn Armstrong (1-1) drove in Snchez and Rice.
David Bednar (2-3), the seventh Yankees pitcher, struck out three in 1 2/3
hitless innings for the win. He retired five of the six batters he faced.
Martnez was mired in an 8-for-61 slump before his two-run shot to right-center
off Paul Blackburn in the fifth. It was Martnez's first homer since May 17
against Cincinnati.
After Rice drew a walk in the first, Goldschmidt connected on a cutter from
starter Gavin Williams and drove it into the left-field bleachers. Goldschmidt
has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, batting .314 (16 for 51) with three
homers and 13 RBIs during that span
McMahon led off the fifth with a shot to left on a low curveball to put the
Yankees up 4-3.
New York had runners at the corners with one out in the eighth when Cleveland
shortstop Brayan Rocchio made a diving stop on Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s hard-hit
grounder up the middle. Rocchio touched second base with his glove, pivoted and
then threw out Chisholm at first from his right knee to complete the double
play.
