Yankees avoid sweep in Cleveland, best Guardians with Judge's bat, Rodon's arm | amNewYork
Briefly

The New York Yankees triumphed over the Cleveland Guardians 5-1 on April 23, 2025, thanks to a strong start led by Aaron Judge's triple and Paul Goldschmidt's key hits. The Yankees scored four runs in the first two innings, highlighting their offensive potential despite Yankees manager Aaron Boone acknowledging room for improvement. Pitcher Carlos Rodon performed well, allowing only one unearned run over seven innings. With this win, the Yankees improved their record to 15-10, avoiding a sweep before a much-needed day off.
Ben Rice led off the game with a walk, which led to a triple off the center field wall by Aaron Judge, giving the Yankees an early 1-0 lead.
We've played pretty good, but I think there's so much room still for us to get better, though, said Yankees skipper Aaron Boone.
Carlos Rodon notched his second-straight quality start, as the southpaw surrendered just one unearned run on four hits and two walks, while striking out eight in seven innings of work.
Those three guys [Rice, Judge and Goldschmidt] are playing so well and giving quality at-bat after quality at-bat, Boone said.
