The previous inning, Jhonkensy Noel had delivered a game-tying home run against Yankees closer Luke Weaver. Weaver, who had a phenomenal year for the Yankees, had allowed just two home runs since the start of September, including one on Sept. 2 and the other in Game 2.

Pinch-hitter Jhonkensy Noel tied the score with a two-out home run in the ninth inning and David Fry hit a two-run homer in the 10th, rallying Cleveland over the New York Yankees 7-5 and pulling the Guardians to 2-1 in the AL Championship Series.
