However, the Guardians managed to stay alive with a 7-3 victory. Cleveland recorded two triples in a single playoff game for the first time in franchise history and capitalized on an error by Sean Newcomb, who entered the game after Anthony Kay. The Guardians' strong hitting performance saw Adell, Ramírez, Bailey, and Brayan Rocchio each contribute multiple hits.
