NEW YORK (AP) — Mark Teixeira hit a three-run homer, Derek Jeter sparked a rally with a two-out, two-run double and the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 7-3 Sunday.
Hours after the Indians learned they would be without star center fielder Grady Sizemore for at least six to eight weeks and possibly longer, they were reminded that their problems are more extensive and troubling.
Alex Rodriguez was 0 for 3 a day after hitting Cleveland pitcher David Huff in the head with a line drive. Huff showed no symptoms of a concussion before the game.
Justin Masterson held the Yankees scoreless until the seventh inning, when Nick Swisher and Brett Gardner singled before Jeter's hit.
Tony Sipp (0-1) came on and gave up a double to Curtis Granderson before Teixeira's drive.
