After starting their eight game homestand with a 1-4 record, the Yankees bounced back in a big way with a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians. C.C. Sabathia was outstanding today as he pitched a complete game to defeat the Indians 6-4. The Yankee offense gave Sabathia an early lead with six runs in the first two innings.
Sabathia allowed four runs on seven hits in nine innings of work. He struck out nine and walked only one batter. He finished his outing with 116 pitches thrown, in which 84 of them were for strikes.
The Yankees got on the board quickly this afternoon.
Travis Hafner opened up the scoring in the first inning with a long two-run shot to right field.
After Chris Stewart's RBI single in the second inning, Brett Gardner gave the Yankees a 6-0 lead with a three-run shot to right field.
The Yankees would not score anymore runs, but their six early runs proved to be enough.
The Yankees finished their homestand with a 4-4 record and now will travel out west to take on the Mariners in a three-game set that begins on Thursday.
