The Indians opened a three-game series against the Yankees on Monday with a 6-3 win at Progressive Field.
Josh Tomlin got the win, allowing two runs on three hits over seven innings. The right-hander, who became the first MLB pitcher since 1919 to last five innings in each of his first 209 career starts, didn’t allow a hit through six innings.
Austin Kearns’ first home run of the season — a three-run shot in the seventh — put Cleveland in front 4-2.
