The New York Yankees came into this game having not scored more than four runs in any of their last eight games, and not overcoming a three-run deficit all season long. They did both of those things tonight en route to a 6-3 win over Cleveland.
Give the Yankees credit, though — they wanted to lose this game early. They tried really hard to give it to Cleveland and keep their own streak of misery alive. But being the gracious hosts that they are, Cleveland gave it right back.
A series of defensive blunders had Yankees Twitter burning to the ground as Cleveland racked up three quick runs in the first inning.
