Yankees Beat Indians Again

Alex Rodriguez drove in three runs without hitting his 600th homer and New York used a seven-run seventh inning to beat Cleveland 11-4 on Thursday night.

Dustin Moseley (1-0) won his first start, allowing a run and four hits over six innings as New York took three of four in a lopsided series that saw A-Rod extend his homerless streak to seven games.

Robinson Cano connected for his 20th homer just after Rodriguez grounded out in the seventh. That started a string of nine straight Yankees reaching safely with two outs. Curtis Granderson and Rodriguez each had two-run singles—both off Joe Smith—in the rally.

Rodriguez batted with the bases loaded three times. He hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the third to tie the score 1-all.

Derek Jeter’s single in the sixth off rookie reliever Frank Herrmann (0-1) broke the final tie.
