INDIANS

The Yankees will play a decisive ALDS Game 5 Wednesday in Cleveland, after Luis Severino redeemed himself from his wildcard fiasco last week in every way imaginable, pitching seven innings and whiffing nine. The Bombers’ lineup capitalized on two early errors by Indians third baseman Giovanny Urshela and one by relief pitcher Danny Salazar to beat the Indians 7-3 to knot the ALDS at two games apiece. Reliever Tommy Kahnle recorded a six-out save; five of the outs were strikeouts.

CC Sabathia will oppose Indians ace Corey Kluber in the ALDS clincher.

Severino blazed through the first inning, and he needed just 18 pitches to record three outs, a vast improvement over his wild-card start last week, when the Dominican righty lasted just a third of an inning of his first career playoff start.

Todd Frazier delivered the first blow, a two-out, RBI double to left off Game 1 winner Trevor Bauer. The ball just clipped the foul line and scored Starlin Castro. Castro had reached on an error by Urshela, and then moved to second on a passed ball. Aaron Hicks drove in Frazier with an RBI single, and Aaron Judge roped a two-run double to left.

Judge had already struck out against Bauer in the first inning and was a wretched 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts. But Judge worked the count full and then drilled a high fastball from Bauer for the double.
