Hah! The Yankees are heading back to Cleveland, after forcing a winner-take-all Game 5 with back-to-back victories in The Bronx.

The Bombers were down 2-0 in the American League Division Series after blowing a five-run lead on Saturday with a tragic failure to challenge a bad call in the crucial sixth inning.

But they didn’t give up — they changed the momentum.

First, Masahiro Tanaka came through big-time, blanking the Indians with help from David Robertson and Aroldis Chapman. Then Luis Severino tossed another gem, striking out nine and holding the Tribe to three runs as the Yankee offense exploded for seven.

Win or lose on Wednesday, this young squad has already proved to possess the October poise of pinstriped legends past.

If Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Todd Frazier, Aaron Hicks and the rest can keep it up in Game 5, it’s on to Houston and the battle for a 41st American League pennant.
