Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Gleyber Torres stepped on second base for the final out, swinging his arms back and forth, four times in all, while glaring at Josh Naylor and the Guardians dugout. Just a little thing about revenge.” Yankees manager Aaron Boone won his gamble by starting Cortes on three days’ rest over Jameson Taillon, making the late switch after Monday night’s rain caused a postponement. “When they’re all clicking they’re great,” Yankees ace Gerrit Cole said of the Astros, his former team. It’s cute.” “We feel like it is a little disrespectful, not just Cole but for the team,” Torres said. Yankees fans in the sellout crowd of 48,178 greeted Naylor with derisive chants of “Who’s your daddy!” echoing their treatment of Boston pitcher Pedro Martinez two decades ago.
