CLEVELAND, Ohio — Josh Naylor smashed a 405-foot home run off Yankees starter Gerrit Cole in the fourth inning and celebrated by “rocking the baby” as he circled the bases in Game 4 of the American League Division Series at Progressive Field.

It was Naylor’s first home run of the 2022 postseason and his second career postseason homer against Cole. Naylor hit a solo home run in the fourth inning of Game 1 of the 2020 wild card series off Cole. The blast cut New York’s lead to 3-2.

As he circled the bases, Naylor made the “rocking the baby” gesture as he screamed toward Cleveland’s dugout. He also appeared to shout back toward the mound and Cole as he pounded on his chest. After crossing the plate, Naylor exhorted fans in the dugout suites before strolling back to the Guardians’ dugout and receiving a pat on the helmet from Andrés Giménez.
