Trailing 3-1 heading to the seventh, the Yankees scored three runs each in the seventh and eighth innings to take the victory. Cody Ransom drove in three runs with a bases-loaded double, and Robinson Cano scored twice for the Yankees, who have come back to win in each of the thr |

| (MySportsbook) - Carl Pavano returns to the Bronx this afternoon, as the Cleveland Indians try to follow up one of their most lopsided wins in team history in the conclusion of a four-game set against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. On Saturday, Asdrubal Cabrera's grand slam and RBI single was just a snippet of the damage done by the Indians in an epic second inning, as Cleveland erupted for a remarkable 14 runs in the frame and embarrassed the Yankees, 22-4. The Indians' 14-run second inning tied a f |

| (MySportsbook) - Chien-Ming Wang hopes to put two miserable starts behind him this afternoon when the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians resume their four-game series at Yankee Stadium. After a horrific effort to start the season, Wang, who missed most of last season with a foot injury, was even worse in his second trip to the hill on Monday against Tampa Bay, which pounded him for eight runs in just over an inning of work. Wang, a 19-game winner in both 2006 and 2007, has surrendered 15 runs and 15 hits |

Grady Sizemore, Mark DeRosa, Shin-Soo Choo and Ryan Garko each drove in a run for the Indians, who won for just the second time in nine games this season.

| (MySportsbook) - If you had asked me before last season's All-Star break whether or not Eric Wedge would return as the manager of the Cleveland Indians, I would have told you no way. And rightfully so, by the way. On July 9 of last season the Tribe was 37-53, 15 1/2 games back in the AL Central, and had just traded the American League's reigning Cy Young Award winner in CC Sabathia. In other words things were bad, and did not look like they were going to get any better. Keep in mind, too, that this was a team |
