## Resource

The Guardians face a tougher chess match against the Yankees, with veteran Stephen Vogt warning that both teams remember last week’s battle — making mental toughness key for pitchers and hitters. Even without Aaron Judge, New York’s lineup remains elite, powered by home runs and slugging stats, while their rotation — led by Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón — is lights out with the best ERA in the AL. Vogt encourages young Guardians hitters like Chase DeLauter and Kyle Manzardo to stay patient through slumps, praising Manzardo’s recent breakout since early May. On the mound, Gavin Williams is leading the league in wins thanks to his deceptive sinker and sweeper, but Vogt reminds everyone that wins aren’t the only measure — Tanner Bibee proves that pitching well matters more than the record when the team is winning.
