Peralta, Indians Bug Yankees Again, Win 6-4

Posted Apr 25, 08 11:38 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Jhonny Peralta hit a three-run homer off Andy Pettitte in the fifth inning and the Cleveland Indians won their fourth straight Friday, beating New York, 6-4, in the Yankees' first visit since last year's AL playoffs when they were bombarded by swarming bugs. Peralta had four RBIs and Jamey Carroll had a run-scoring single and stole two bases for the Indians.

Peralta's big shot off Pettitte put the Indians ahead 4-3, and Franklin Gutierrez followed with a homer off the lefty. Interim closer Rafael Betancourt worked a perfect ninth for his second save in two nights. Jason Giambi homered twice and Hideki Matsui connected for the Yankees while Alex Rodriguez returned to New York's lineup and went 0-for-4.

    Slow Start Lands Yankees in Unfamiliar AL East Cellar Last place is unfamiliar territory for the Yankees. Since 1912 the Bronx Bombers have only finished there twice, compared to 26 world titles. This year, however, they have bungled their way to a 20-24 record and find themselves looking up, record-wise in the AL, not only at division foes like the Tampa Bay Rays but also at the Royals and the Athletics, three teams whose combined payroll is barely three-fourths of New York, reports USA Today.
