Indians' 2d effort: 14 runs
Cleveland beats up on Wang, Yankees
The Cleveland Indians set the bar for Yankee Stadium's new record book yesterday, scoring 14 runs on 13 hits in the second inning of a 22-4 victory.
Asdrubal Cabrera hit a grand slam and an RBI single in the second as the Indians chased struggling starter Chien-Ming Wang and set several marks that could stand for a while at New York's new home.
Mark DeRosa and Shin Soo-Choo each hit a three-run homer. Travis Hafner, Grady Sizemore, and Victor Martinez had solo shots.
It was the most runs for the Indians since they beat New York, 22-0, Aug. 31, 2004. The 14 runs were the most scored in the second inning of a major league game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Down, 7-2, Wang was replaced by Anthony Claggett, who was making his major league debut after being recalled from Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Jhonny Peralta doubled in two more runs and Cabrera hit a drive to right. Sizemore followed Cabrera's slam with his fourth homer, making it 14-2 as the crowd booed loudly.
Wang (0-3) was charged with eight runs and eight hits in 1 1/3 innings, giving him a 34.50 ERA after three starts.
Dodgers 9, Rockies 5 - Manny Ramírez hit his first two home runs of the season - and dropped a fly ball for his first error - and Andre Ethier also homered twice as Los Angeles extended its winning streak to seven games with a victory over visiting Colorado.
Both of Ramírez's home runs came with the bases empty and increased his career total to 529, five behind Jimmie Foxx for 16th place.
Marlins 9, Nationals 6 - Jeremy Hermida hit two late-inning home runs - a three-run homer in the 11th inning after tying it with a two-run shot in the ninth - as Florida won in Washington for its sixth straight win.
The Marlins improved to a big-league-best 10-1 after rallying for their second straight extra-inning win. On Friday, Hermida's 10th-inning single proved to be the winning run.
Hermida's first home run - off closer Joel Hanrahan, who blew his second save opportunity in as many games - came with two outs.
Mets 1, Brewers 0 - Johan Santana breezed through seven innings in his first start at Citi Field and New York took advantage of an error on a sacrifice to scratch out the game's only run.
Santana (2-1), who allowed five hits and struck out seven without issuing a walk, has allowed only one earned run in his first 19 2/3 innings.
Padres 8, Phillies 5 - Brad Lidge blew his first save in 54 opportunities, allowing a three-run homer to Kevin Kouzmanoff, as San Diego won in Philadelphia.
Last year, Lidge was a perfect 48 for 48, including postseason, and he hadn't blown a save chance since Sept. 23, 2007.
Royals 2, Rangers 0 - Zack Greinke did not allow a run for his third straight start, pitching a seven-hitter and striking out 10 for his first career shutout as Kansas City won in Arlington, Texas.
Twins 9, Angels 2 - Jason Kubel had his second consecutive four-hit game, Justin Morneau had three hits and drove in a pair of runs, and Delmon Young drove in three for host Minnesota.
