After a brief lull, the silence of the two teams was broken in the sixth inning. At the top of the sixth inning, the Yankees scored a three-run homerun when Giancarlo Stanton, the fifth designated hitter, crossed the left fence in a chance to score a point with Soto's walk and Aaron Judge's hit. It was his fourth homer of this post season, and the Yankees quickly ran away with a score of 6:2.

Cleveland's persistent pursuit continued even in the bottom of the seventh inning. They followed with a timely double by Ramirez, who had a chance to score a point, which was made through a walk by No. 9 hitter Brian Rocchio and a hit by Kwan.

While chasing after the batter without giving up, Cleveland ended up tying the game at 6:6 in the bottom of the eighth inning. Bo Naylor, the catcher at the eighth batter who was the first batter, doubled to create a chance for the team to score a point.

However, with two outs, David Fry, the designated hitter who came to the batter's box, made a timely hit, and brought the game back to square one.

In the game that started all over again, the Yankees made a chance at the top of the ninth inning. If outfielder Alex Verdugo's ball, which came out of a chance to hit runners on the first and third bases made by consecutive hits by Anthony Rizzo and Anthony Wolfie, became the fielder's choice, the runner on the third base came home and took a 7:6 lead.

With continuous chances, Torres, the first batter, made a timely hit to pass the shortstop to secure an additional point, and the score increased to 8:6. The score became the final score of the game. It was Yankees' victory.
