How to watch Yankees-Guardians on Amazon Prime Video: Start time, streaming

When the Yankees take on the Cleveland Guardians tonight, they’ll be doing so on Prime Video (at least if you live in in New York State, Connecticut, northern and central New Jersey, and northeast Pennsylvania).

Last night, the Bronx Bombers played game one of a three-game series against the Guardians that went late into the evening; the Yankees bullpen, which pitched eight scoreless innings, fell apart in the 12th inning, leading to Cleveland picking up an 8-5 win.

Tonight, they’ll face the Cleveland Guardians for the fifth of six times during the 2024 season and could improve their season record over the Guardians to TK (was 2-1 before today’s game) with a win tonight.
