Burnett, Yanks shut out Tribe

The Yankees blew out the Indians last night, 8-0, as A.J. Burnett tossed 6-1/3 innings and five Yankees had two-hit games. But still, no No. 600 for Mr. Rodriguez.

Best of All: Definitely Burnett’s outing. The best way to prove to Brian Cashman not to waste prospects on a starter this trade deadline is by good starting pitching. Burnett allowed seven hits and three walks, but worked out of trouble with seven strikeouts.

Robinson Cano had his 19th homer in the fourth; he now has 69 RBIs.

Worst of All: Derek Jeter was the only starter without a base hit, as he went 0-for-5 with 2 Ks.

Coming Up: The Yankees can seal the series win with a win tonight. Same time, same place.
