CLEVELAND (AP) — Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton blasted consecutive homers, Nestor Cortes shut Cleveland down for six innings and the New York Yankees continued their torrid winning pace by beating the Guardians 6-1 to complete a doubleheader sweep. Matt Carpenter homered twice and Gerrit Cole brushed off giving up back-to-back home runs in New York’s 13-4 romp in the opener. Cortes allowed a homer in the first to Amed Rosario and little else. The left-hander gave up one run and three hits and struck out six —- Guardians star third baseman José Ramírez three times. The Yankees are 25-6 since May 31.
