7 - 26 - 10 vs. New York Yankees L, 3 - 2 41 - 58
With one swing of the bat, Curtis Granderson ruined what could have been Jake Westbrook's best outing of the season. He was pitching into the 8th inning and he had a 2 - 1 lead, but that's when Granderson unloaded a long, two - run homer into the right field bleachers. And, in the blink of an eye, Westbrook went from a pitcher on the verge of beating the vaunted Yankees to just another one of their many victims.
Travis Hafner put the Indians on top in the 2nd on his solo home run to right. The long ball was Hafner's first since June 15th, and that ironically came against another New York team, the Mets.
Westbrook had a perfect game going until Nick Swisher blasted a solo shot to right in the 4th that tied the game at one.
The Tribe regained the lead thanks to Shin - Soo Choo and his two - out, RBI double in the 6th that scored Michael Brantley, who had reached on a fielder's choice two batters prior to Choo.
However, Granderson's gopher ball soon followed and Mariano Rivera would not allow the Indians to make a late comeback.
