Torres' walk-off HR lifts Yanks to 15th win in 16

NEW YORK -- Domingo German owned the first six innings Sunday at Yankee Stadium, holding the Indians hitless in his first Major League start. Then it was up to the Yankees' hitters to claim a 15th win in the last 16 games. Eventually and dramatically, they did just that.

Down four runs after the Indians scored in the eighth inning, the Yankees rallied with three runs in the bottom of the eighth and four more in the ninth, winning 7-4 on Gleyber Torres' three-run home run off Dan Otero. The Yankees swept the Indians in a three-game weekend series and have won six in a row, with the American League East rival Red Sox arriving in town for a three-game series that begins Tuesday.
