Angel Martinez hit a two-run homer in the first inning to back 5 2/3 stellar innings from Luis L. Ortiz as the visiting Cleveland Guardians earned a 4-0 victory over the New York Yankees on Wednesday night.

The Guardians won for only the third time in their past 11 regular-season visits to New York thanks to the duo of Martinez and Ortiz.

Martinez entered the game in a 6-for-40 skid but gave Cleveland a 2-0 lead. Following a walk to Steven Kwan, he got a first-pitch cutter and hammered it into the right field bleachers.

Jose Ramirez doubled after Martinez went deep to extend his on-base streak to 30 games and scored on a two-out double by Daniel Schneemann.

Kyle Manzardo added a homer in the eighth and Schneemann collected three hits after entering the game in a 4-for-28 slide over his previous 10 contests.

Ortiz (3-6) allowed three hits in his second scoreless start this season. The right-hander struck out seven, walked three and got a pair of double plays both started by Ramirez at third base.

Ortiz earned his first win since beating the Pittsburgh Pirates on April 18. The right-hander entered 0-4 with a 3.79 ERA in his previous seven outings.

Ramirez started a double play on Anthony Volpe to end the second and then another double play on Ben Rice when the original was overturned following a Cleveland challenge.

Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt (2-3) settled down after the rocky start and allowed three runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings. The right-hander struck out eight and walked one.

Tim Herrin pitched 1 1/3 innings and ended the seventh by getting Volpe on a double play. Hunter Gaddis pitched the eighth and Emmanuel Clase worked a non-save situation in the ninth to finish off Cleveland's eighth shutout.

Clase put two on by allowing hits to Rice and Cody Bellinger but finished it off by fanning Paul Goldschmidt and Jazz Chisholm Jr.

The Yankees were blanked for the second time this season. New York also saw its five-game home winning streak stopped and lost for only the fourth time in its past 15 games.
