Yankees:

Phil Hughes was sharp in his first game vs. the Tribe, and Alex Rodriguez hit his 37th homer of 2007 as the Yankees kept up the pressure in the American League East and Wild Card races. Derek Jeter added three hits.

Indians:

Facing Yankees youngster Phil Hughes for the first time, the Indians struggled to put together runs behind Fausto Carmona. Josh Barfield's solo homer in the fifth inning was the third of just four Tribe hits off Hughes.

Yankees:

The Yanks provided all the offense they needed and then some in the seven-run second, as Johnny Damon and Bobby Abreu both doubled in two before Alex Rodriguez went deep. A-Rod homered again in the eighth as Mike Mussina earned his 100th victory with the Yankees.

Indians:

The Indians inducted their new Hall of Fame class before the game, then took the lead on a Victor Martinez sacrifice fly in the first inning. But New York quickly countered with a decisive seven-run second frame off starter Paul Byrd, and the Indians' bats didn't respond.

Yankees:

Jason Giambi homered for the second straight game as the Yanks rolled behind Andy Pettitte to sweep the Indians for the second time this year. New York kept pace with Seattle in the American League Wild Card race and moved to 23-8 since the All-Star break. Melky Cabrera also homered.

Indians:

Looking for positives in the series finale, the Tribe turned to Jake Westbrook, who was largely sharp outside of surrendering a two-run homer to Jason Giambi in the fourth. Offense remained a problem, as the Indians wasted a big chance in the seventh inning.
