Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Robinson Cano and DeWayne Wise each homered and
drove in three runs, while Hiroki Kuroda pitched well into the eighth inning
as the Yankees downed the Indians, 7-1, in the opener of a three-game series.
Nick Swisher also homered behind Kuroda (7-7), who got back to .500 thanks to
surrendering just one run on five hits and two walks in seven-plus frames.
Cleveland starter Josh Tomlin (3-5) was quickly pulled after surrendering six
runs on six hits and a pair of walks in just three innings. The Indians did
not score until Jason Kipnis' sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, and by that
time they were already trailing 7-0 en route to a third straight loss.
