Yankees end Indians home win streak; three takeaways from the 2-1 loss

1. Lack of run support and the eighth inning

One at-bat was ultimately enough to give the Yankees a win to snap their four-game losing streak.

After a masterful performance from Danny Salazar, (more on that in a minute) the eighth inning ultimately sealed Cleveland’s fate, when Zach McAllister gave up a solo home run to Yankees first baseman Chase Headley to break the tie, and give New York a 2-1 lead.

The Tribe struggled offensively for most of the night, and their only run of the game came courtesy of Carlos Santana, who homered to left field off of the bleacher railing in the second inning.

Collectively, the Indians got six hits in 33 at-bats tonight for a .182 average. The team went zero-for-five with runners in scoring position, and stranded two runners in scoring position with two outs.
