Game 1
Cleveland (Kyle Hendricks 10-8 3.02) at Oakland (Gerrit Cole 17-6 3.53)
The mood in the Oakland locker room was a bit lighter before Game 1 when the news came down
that Cleveland had fired ace Justin Verlander at the Twins the day before, making him unavailable
for the first couple games of the series. Cleveland really had no choice as Minnesota was
sending out an elite pitcher in their own right in Trevor Bauer.
Oakland jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first in front of a raucous crowd. Andrew
McCutchen led off with a double, followed by key hits from Altuve and Alonso.
Gerrit Cole and Hendricks then settled into a pitchers duel, matching zeros until the top of
the 6th when Cleveland struck. Brian Anderson doubled to start the 6th, followed by a Gleyber
Torres walk. Cole then got Ronald Acuna to ground into a double play, thinking maybe he was
escaping the jam. Hunter Renfroe crushed a double to deep left knocking in a run, which was
quickly followed by an RBI single from All-Star catcher JT Realmuto. With the game locked at
2, Gerrit Cole induced a Wilson Contreras ground out to keep the game knotted.
The game remained tied into the 10th behind some Houdini-like work from Cleveland reliever
Trevino in the 8th, escaping a bases loaded jam. Andrew McCutchen continued his hot start to the
postseason by drawing a leadoff walk in the bottom of the 10th. Following a walk to Michael
Conforto, Anthony Rendon stepped in and ripped a walk-off single to end game 1 in 10 innings 3-2.
