Indians mash past Yankees 8-4
Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY SportsThe Indians took an early lead and never surrendered it to rebound from close losses the last two nights and split a four-game series against the Yankees. While neither starting pitcher ventured deep into the game the Tribe got the better of Yankees pitching. Meanwhile, both bullpens surrendered four runs apiece.
Third baseman Jose Ramirez earned an off-day today, but production from the position didn’t falter. Mike Freeman earned the start at the hot corner and went 3-4, including a three-run home run in the second inning that put the Indians on top 4-0. His other two hits were both doubles, and he came around to score both times as well.
