Game 2 is Tuesday night at 7:38 p.m. Eastern Time.

Here's how social media reacted to the game.

“I really don’t like it when Vogt Fry hits. I understand that Brennan was their best pinch hitter, but Fry hit well. Alex Cobb is left with two batters left too long after a coach's visit. Then I turn to the rookie Cantillo… In my opinion, those are three bad decisions from Vogt tonight.” Fox 8's John Sabol posted.

“Total giveaway game. We beat Skubal, so of course we can beat Cole too. I don't love Stanton coming to life and changing the entire lineup. Really could use a game between Jose and Josh Naylor.” Anthony Lima of 92.3 The Fan posted.

“Ultimately, the Guardians duo of Jose Ramirez and Josh Naylor have to step on the gas. Without these two you won't win the pennant. One thing: Ask Met fans how they felt after Game 1 of their series. It's now a 7 game marathon. Tomorrow: Gerrit Cole vs. Tanner Bibee,” Fox college basketball announcer John Fanta posted.

“The Yankees prove tonight that standing still in the penalty box while balls bounce around your feet and fly over your head is a winning baseball strategy.” Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com posted.

“I had to subtract Cobb, but I'm not sure putting a guy who's never pitched in the postseason in a bases-loaded situation was the best idea.” Danny Cunningham of 92.3 The Fan and the Locked on Cavaliers podcast posted.

“Maybe not popular, but Josh Naylor is getting on my nerves.” Mike Bormann from BigPlay posted.

“The Guardians struck out 14 times, scored just two times and would still have been in Game 1 if not for the disastrous third inning. “This series is not out of reach for Cleveland.” Jon Doss of WEWS-TV posted.

“Probably a moot point, but it felt like Vogt didn't have to burn the whole bench down and put the Guardians in a situation where Austin Hedges got two at-bats late.” Aram Leighton from the Just Baseball Show posted.

“Rocchio and Kwan the greatest baseball players of all time? some say: “ Jordan Zirm of the Sporting News posted.

“If you're the Guardians, take comfort in the fact that your big bullpen arms got a breather and that 60% of the damage tonight was self-inflicted.” MLB editorial producer Casey Drottar posted.

“I can't remember a player going through such a tough rookie year like Rocchio and then developing into such a reliable player in the playoffs. But to win in the playoffs, sometimes you need guys to flip the script like that.” Justin Lada from Locked on Guardians podcast posted.
