Yankees Lose 3-2 Despite Dinger From Rodriguez

By -
The Yankees were coming off of a 3 game sweep over the Minnesota Twins when they faced off against the Cleveland Indians at home yesterday. Looking for their 4th straight win, Ivan Nova started on the mound facing off against Josh Tomlin.

The first run of the game came in the top of the second inning when Carlos Santana walked, and Lonnie Chisenhall doubled to score him from first. The Yankees then got 3 straight outs to end the inning. The score was 1-0.

The Indians got another run in the top of the third inning. Jason Kipnis singled and moved to second on a ground out to Greg Bird at first. Then Michael Brantley singled to left to score Kipnis and make it a 2-0 game.

The Yankees first hit, and first base runner came in the 3rd when Headley doubled to lead off the inning. They got runners over to second and third with two outs but were unable to score.

The Indians scored again in the top of the fourth inning, the third inning in a row that they scored. Abraham Almonte walked with one out, followed by Giovanny Urshela and Jose Ramirez getting back to back singles to score Almonte. The score was 3-0.

Alex Rodriguez hit his 26th home run of the season to lead off the bottom of the 4th inning and make the game 3-1.

The Yankees only had 2 runners on base in between the 4th and the 9th inning, and both were Stephen Drew, on a walk and a single.
In the 9th inning, Alex Rodriguez led off with a single and stole second base. Carlos Beltran singled him in to make the score 3-2. The Yankees would not score any more and would lose 3-2.

Ivan Nova threw 5 innings and allowed 6 hits, 3 earned runs, struck out 4 and walked 2. Adam Warren and Chris Capuano both threw 2 innings in relief, both only allowing 1 hit and no runs.

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year.

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
