Yankees Get Feisty In 11-7 Win Over Indians

After getting swept by the Boston Red Sox at home the New York Yankees were not in a good mood and took in out on the slumping Cleveland Indians by a score of 11-7. The Yankees struggled in the Red Sox series and was not in the mood to see their players get hit with a baseball anymore.

JoeGirardi and Acta got into a heated argument when both benches and bullpens emptied after Teixeira was hit behind the shoulder by a second-inning pitch from struggling Cleveland starter Fausto Carmona. No punches were thrown and there appeared to be little pushing and shoving— if any. Plate umpire Dale Scott issued warnings to both teams, and there was no further trouble.

Alex Rodriguez hit a colossal home run, Curtis Granderson also connected and New York as they made the Indians pay for plunking their player. The Yankees needed this win to get back on track. Losing to their rival Boston Red Sox like they did took a lot out of them and they needed a win like this to feel good about themselves again.
