(My Sportsbook) - 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 franchise record and was the most ever given up by the Yankees in a single frame. It was also the most runs in a game for the Tribe since they beat New York 22-0 on August 31, 2004, at the old Yankee Stadium.

The 22 runs also tied the Yankees record for most allowed in a home game.

Every Cleveland starter had a hit in the stanza, with Shin-Soo Choo belting a three-run homer to get things started. Mark DeRosa finished the game 4-for-7 with a home run and six RBI, while Grady Sizemore belted a homer and two doubles in the lopsided affair.

Victor Martinez and Travis Hafner each hit a long ball for the Indians, and Jhonny Peralta logged three hits, three runs scored and two RBI to back starter Fausto Carmona (1-2), who went six innings, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks to pick up Cleveland's third win in four games.

The victim of the Indians' barrage was Chien-Ming Wang (0-3), who failed to get out of the second inning for the second straight start. The two-time 19- game winner was blitzed for eight runs on eight hits while recording just four outs. Reliever Anthony Claggett also surrendered eight runs in 1 2/3 innings for New York, which fell to 6-6 on the young season.

Pavano, meanwhile, spent four tumultuous, injury-plagued seasons with the Yankees after signing a four-year, $40 million deal with them before the 2005 season. Injuries limited him to just 26 starts over the course of the contract for them, 17 of which came in his first season with the team.

The 33-year-old right-hander missed all of 2006 and appeared in just two games for the Yankees in 2007 before going 4-2 with a 5.77 earned run average in seven starts for them down the stretch last season.

Pavano, who agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Tribe this past winter, has yet to get it going in Cleveland, losing both of his starts, while pitching to a 16.71 ERA.

New York will counter with A.J. Burnett, who the Yankees hope can go deep into the game this afternoon due to an obviously-spent bullpen. Burnett has been terrific for the Yanks in winning his first two starts and carried a no- hitter into the seventh inning against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday before allowing two runs and three hits in eight innings of his team's 7-2 win.

Burnett, though, is just 1-4 lifetime against the Indians with a 7.20 ERA in five starts.

Cleveland took two of three games from New York in their final visit to the old Yankee Stadium last season and won four of seven overall meetings between the teams in 2008.
