Including the Postseason, Quantrill is 0-1 with a 3.94 ERA in six appearances (two starts) against the Yankees. Cole is 9-5 with a 2.83 ERA in 15 postseason starts and 3-1 with a 3.38 ERA for New York. It’s in the media. He earned the win in Tuesday’s series opener after allowing just one earned run in six innings on a Steven Kwan home run. He took the loss in Game 1 of the ALDS at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday, allowing three earned runs in five innings with five strikeouts and three walks. He has not taken a loss in his last 36 home starts overall, the second-longest such streak in MLB history behind Kenny Rogers (38GS). TV/radio: TBS will televise Game 4 at 7:07 p.m.

New York Yankees shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa was disappointed with the defense he played in Game 3 of the ALDS, a walk-off loss to the Cleveland Guardians.

It might've been a different story, and the end of the inning, if Kiner-Falefa made an accurate and strong throw to Rizzo's chest in that spot. Regardless of what has transpired during the regular season, Kiner-Falefa and the Yankees are now one loss away from elimination in the ALDS. Finally, as the Guardians began to chip away at New York's two-run lead in the ninth, Kiner-Falefa threw to the wrong base. At this point, all you can ask for is an opportunity to go out there and take the series. "Feel like I had the opportunity to come up with some key plays tonight to help the team win," the shortstop said. "Just disappointed," Kiner-Falefa said in a solemn tone once it was his turn to speak to members of the media. Shuffling with the baseball, Kiner-Falefa pulled his throw to the left side of first base, forcing Anthony Rizzo off the bag. Kiner-Falefa had better numbers when it comes to defensive runs saved, producing plus-10 DRS, which was tied for sixth among MLB shortstops, per [FanGraphs.](https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=ss&stats=fld&lg=all&qual=y&type=1&season=2022&month=0&season1=2022&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2022-01-01&enddate=2022-12-31&sort=13,d) The dominant stretch came to an end when Kiner-Falefa fielded a ground ball from second baseman Andrés Giménez. With starter Luis Severino on the mound, runners on the corners and one man out, Josh Naylor sent an 82.8-mph line drive to the left side of the infield. It wasn't a routine play, but Kiner-Falefa could've started an inning-ending double play had he gotten a glove on it to his backhand side. Kiner-Falefa lurched to his right, but whiffed as he tried to snag the short-hop, allowing the ball to trickle into left-center field for an RBI single.

The New York Yankees tweaked their starting lineup for Game 4 of the AL Division Series on Sunday night, benching shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and starting ...

This time I feel like it snowballed a little bit on him in this series, so that’s kind of going into this.” “I feel that in some big pressure spots throughout the season he has made big-time plays,” Boone said. Hicks has not played in the postseason.

The Guardians lead the best-of-five series 2-1 heading into Sunday's Game 4.

The Yankees tasked [Wandy Peralta](/mlb/players/2264742/wandy-peralta/) with 1 2/3 innings on Saturday and stayed away from typical closer [Clay Holmes](/mlb/players/2044540/clay-holmes/), making their availabilities for this game unknown.

[Cal Quantrill](/mlb/players/2250593/cal-quantrill/) (15-5, 3.38 ERA) vs. Anything can happen in a single game, however, and we're big fans of winner-takes-all games. The Guardians won Game 3 on Saturday in stunning, walk-off fashion to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. The Guardians will counter with Cal Quantrill.

La recrue Oswaldo Cabrera remplacera Isiah Kiner-Falefa à l'arrêt-court.

2022. Il évoluera à une position plus naturelle dimanche. Je sens que ce sont de gros points qui nous ont coûté le match ce soir.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone explained why SS Isiah Kiner-Falefa is out of the starting lineup for Game 4 of the ALDS against the Cleveland ...

He was acquired alongside Josh Donaldson in the Gary Sánchez and Gio Urshela trade the Yankees made back in spring training. I think we have viewed Oswald as still working to get to that point and obviously got some opportunities in September and I thought played really well for us and handled himself really well."

"I feel like in some big pressure spots throughout the season, he has made big-time plays. Oswaldo Cabrera has moved from left field to shortstop, opening the door for Aaron Hicks to start in left.

Oswaldo Cabrera will take over at shortstop for New York, moving switch-hitting veteran Aaron Hicks to left field.

Cabrera had a big Saturday night, homering and doubling in three trips to the plate. The league-average rate among qualifiers was 44 percent, suggesting Cole is a touch less likely to coerce a grounder than the typical pitcher. Cabrera appeared in 44 regular season games, amassing a .247/.312/.429 slash line (109 OPS+) while seeing action at six spots. [New York Yankees](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/NYY/new-york-yankees/) have made a notable change to their lineup heading into what could be their final game of the season. Kiner-Falefa has been a polarizing figure for the Yankees throughout the season. The Yankees, facing a 2-1 hole as part of their best-of-five American League Division Series against the [Cleveland Guardians](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/CLE/cleveland-guardians/), are sitting shortstop [Isiah Kiner-Falefa](/mlb/players/2122086/isiah-kiner-falefa/) in favor of rookie [Oswaldo Cabrera](/mlb/players/2821765/oswaldo-cabrera/).

Le match ultime aura lieu lundi, avec à l'enjeu une place en Série de championnat.

Cole a ensuite été retiré du match après sept manches complètes de travail, lors desquelles il a concédé six coups sûrs et deux points. New York s’est retrouvé dans l’eau chaude en fin de septième manche, alors que le partant Gerrit Cole a accordé un simple avec un seul retrait. José Ramirez a frappé un ballon dans la gauche qui a échappé à la défense des Yankees et Steven Kwan a réduit l’écart à 3-1 sur le jeu.

Asked to save the Yankees from elimination on Sunday in Game 4 of this American League division series against the Cleveland Guardians, Cole, 32, delivered ...

When Giménez singled with one out in the seventh inning, the normally sure-handed Bader bobbled the ball, allowing Giménez to take second base. With two Yankees on base in the fifth inning, Ramírez made a slick stop of Gleyber Torres’s ground ball to start a threat-ending double play with the All-Star second baseman Andrés Giménez. The star right fielder Aaron Judge legged out an infield single, first baseman Anthony Rizzo followed with a double and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton gave the Yankees a 4-2 lead with a sacrifice fly that scored Judge. He fouled off three Cole breaking balls before he got a low 98-mile-per-hour fastball that he could handle and trimmed the Guardians’ deficit to 3-2. But as the Yankees painfully learned the previous two games, the Guardians are relentless. But Cole, one of the game’s best strikeout pitchers, found ways to neutralize a Guardians lineup that puts the ball in play a lot. But since donning the pinstripes, Bader has provided a spark, especially in the postseason. But as the Yankees struggled in the second half, the Astros pulled away. But given another chance with the season on the line, Cole held a pesky Guardians lineup in check and guided the Yankees to a taut 4-2 win that evened the best-of-five series at two games apiece and forced a winner-take-all Game 5. 2 trading deadline in a surprise swap with the St. the Guardians’ Aaron Civale to start. They saw him as a missing piece in their pursuit of a World Series title, which, despite all of their spending and efforts, has eluded the franchise since 2009.
