New York had a bye in the first round so this this is their inaugural game of the playoffs!

That they did as Cleveland beat Tampa Bay who like New York is a member of the American League East winning the series 2-0 including Saturday’s game 1-0 where it took 15 innings to decide a winner as Oscar Gonzalez finally homered to center 410 feet in the bottom of the 15th inning.

Following Cleveland advancing to the American League Division Series Oscar Gonzalez who played role in the outcome of the game had this to say!

Yeah, right away I knew it was a good connection,”“And also the angle that the ball was going, I knew it was going to be a home run.”

Though,

Oscar Gonzalez wasn’t the only player to comment following Cleveland’s 1-0 win over Tampa Bay as Shane Bieber did as well saying I threw [the cup] up and boiled broth poured right on top of my hat,”I couldn't be happier about it. What a special time, and I'm so happy for him.”
