Cleveland Indians: Yanks Embarass the Tribe

7 - 28 - 10     vs. New York Yankees     L, 8 - 0     42 - 59

     In order to beat the Yankees, a team has to play virtually perfect baseball.  Their starter must be on top of his game, and the offense has to produce some runs to outscore New York's potent line - up.  Unfortunately, for the Indians, they were far from perfect in this one as their starter, Fausto Carmona got knocked around for seven runs in just 2 2/3 innings, and their offense failed to even put one tally on the scoreboard.
     The only bad new for the Yanks was that Alex Rodriguez once again failed to hit his 600th career home run.  He did, however, contribute a single, a double, and a run batted in.
     Because the Yankees scored eight times in the first four frames, this game was over before a lot of the fans had settled into their seats.  The Bronx Bombers tallied once in the 1st, thrice in both the 2nd and 3rd, and once more in the 4th.
     The Tribe had a few chances to score, but all of those were thwarted by A.J. Burnett, who tossed scoreless baseball for 6 1/3.
