Indians 7, Yankees 3

After Gardner’s first home run in almost a month, McCann sent a 0-1 fastball into the right-center field seats for his 22nd home run. He’s headed to the triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers for a Sunday game.

The Indians added another run in the sixth, when Carlos Santana lined a solo shot to lead off the inning. He improved to 4-0 in his last six starts.

Allen finished for his 25th save in 28 chances. Anderson was 2-3 with a 4.31 ERA in eight starts. However, the Yankees came right back with a run off Jeff Manship to restore a four-run lead and the Tribe was done.

Montero and Soler both lofted balls into the left field basket off former Cub Edwin Jackson (2-2), sending Atlanta to its sixth straight loss. Expect double-digit runs in this game.

Yankees: Pitcher Bryan Mitchell, recovering from a nasal fracture after being hit in the head by a line drive Monday, has done work on the treadmill and is ready to begin playing catch, Girardi said…. The homer was the only extra-base hit given up by the Dominican native. Ehire Adrianza had an RBI single for the Giants. Posada then played under Girardi his final four seasons, bristling when Girardi took away his catching duties then pulling himself out of the lineup one day when he saw his name listed as the No. 9 hitter. In his last start, he went seven innings with just four hits and one run tagged to him. New York CF Jacoby Ellsbury had the night off, but Girardi said it was not related to an injury and he entered as pinch hitter in the seventh….

Milwaukee rookie right-hander Taylor Jungmann (7-5) endured his worst outing of the season. Cleveland scored its second run when Lindor doubled off the third base bag and scored on a single by Chisenhall in the eighth.

Altherr broke the tie with a homer off A.J. Ramos (1-4).

“I remember the passion and the determination he had to win, the dedication, going through tough times, adversities, family issues, but he was there”, Rivera said.

Antonetti on the Indians’ outfield of Ramirez, Chisenhall and Almonte: “You could’ve given me 1,000 guesses and I wouldn’t have come up with that”. Junichi Tazawa pitched the ninth for his second save. But for all his heat, Severino struck out six, all on change-ups. He has a 3.16 ERA on the season while being 11-6 as one of the team’s top arms.

The Diamondbacks loaded the bases against Burke Badenhop (1-3) on Yasmany Tomas’ single, Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s pinch-hit double and Ender Inciarte’s walk, setting up Pollock’s two-out hit.

Yankees: RHP Masahiro Tanaka is coming off a complete game win at Toronto. A hit in his next at-bat will get him up to.20122.

The Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees end their four-game series Sunday afternoon. Greg Bird went down to his knees to field the ball, threw to second for the force, but Brantley beat out the return throw to first to keep the inning alive.

HOUSTON (AP) – Scott Kazmir pitched six solid innings, Jose Altuve and Luis Valbuena homered and the Houston Astros defeated Zack Greinke and the Los Angeles Dodgers. At least Salazar did a decent job protecting the bullpen after those two disastrous innings to start the game. The Over/Under (O/U) for the matchup is eight runs.
