Yanks can't produce equalizer in 9th, fall to Tribe

Alex Rodriguez homered in the fourth inning, but by then the Indians had already picked up their trio of runs off Yankees starter Ivan Nova. The Yankees put together a rally in the ninth after Rodriguez led off with a single, stole second and then scored on a Carlos Beltran single. That made it 3-2. Yankees manager Joe Girardi was ejected with one out for arguing balls and strikes with home-plate umpire Dan Iassogna. After Greg Bird walked to put two runners on, Chase Headley grounded out. Didi Gregorius' flyout to left field ended the game with the tying and winning runs in scoring position.
