In a series marred by fan misconduct, the New York Yankees blasted the Guardians 10-2 to clinch a three-game sweep.
Following a walk-off victory, supporters tossed bottles, cans, and other trash at Cleveland outfielders, prompting the Yankees to boost security in the seats.
After Guardians centre fielder Myles Straw dubbed Yankee Universe the “worst fan base on the earth,” the Bronx’s legendary Bleacher Creatures answered him with chants of “Crybaby!” on Sunday.
Straw was the focal point of a tense ninth inning on Saturday, which included a face-to-face encounter with at least one spectator.
On Sunday, a security guard was stationed at the foot of each aisle in right field, but everything else appeared to be normal.
Meanwhile, the outfielders for Cleveland struggled as the Yankees won their sixth game in a row.
Gerrit Cole recovered from his worst start of the season, and Anthony Rizzo led an early offensive blitz.
