Yankees blow another big lead, then roar back for win that has them a win away from World Series

The New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians played Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Friday night at Progressive Field.

CLEVELAND — “Flush it” was the Yankees’ battle cry after they were one strike away from being a win away from the World Series and lost Game 3 of the American League Championship Series. Luke Weaver said it late Thursday night after he served up a game-tying, two-run homer with two outs in the ninth. Giancarlo Stanton said it after his tie-breaking homer in the eighth inning was trumped by David Fry winning it for the Guardians with a two-run homer in the 10th off Clay Holmes.
