| The New York Yankees Try to steal game two from the Cleveland Indians |
CC Sabathia found it emotional in his last start to face his previous team. Pitching against the club he came up with will probably be less so since he’s been back to Cleveland before. He’ll try for a season-high fifth straight victory and major league-leading 12th when the New York Yankees and Indians continue a three-game set Tuesday night. Sabathia (11-4, 3.05 ERA) became the majors’ first 11-game winner Thursday by matching a career high with 13 strikeouts over 7 2-3 innings in a 5-0 victory over Milwaukee. He won less than an hour before Justin Verlander notched his 11th victory for Detroit. Verlander is also pitching Tuesday on the West Coast against the Angels. Sabathia went 11-2 with a 1.65 ERA in 2008 with Milwaukee after being traded by Cleveland and admitted it was difficult to face the Brewers for the first time since he joined the Yankees. The left-hander, 8-1 with a 2.70 ERA in his last nine outings, has gone 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA in four starts against the Indians. That includes a 1-1 mark with a 3.21 ERA in two outings at Progressive Field, his home park from his rookie season in 2001 up till the trade to Milwaukee. Sabathia will have a tough opponent on the mound in Carlos Carrasco (8-4, 3.54), who gave up five hits over seven innings to earn a 1-0 victory in his first career start against the Yankees on June 13. Carrasco is 4-1 with a 0.98 ERA in his last five outings, striking out 28 and walking five over 36 2-3 innings. The right-hander yielded two runs over seven innings in a 6-2 win at Arizona on Wednesday. New York (50-33) welcomed captain Derek Jeter back to the lineup in its second straight loss, 6-3 on Monday. Jeter was out since June 13 with a calf injury and went 0 for 4 to remain six hits shy of 3,000. “I felt fine, no problems, no issues,” said Jeter, who entered with a .370 average in Cleveland. “I was nervous at the beginning, almost like it was opening day again. It was just nerves. Three weeks is definitely a long time to be out. I felt better as the game went on.” Josh Tomlin carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning and notched his 10th victory as the Indians (45-38) won for the fifth time in seven games. Austin Kearns hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the seventh off A.J. Burnett for his first since Aug. 22, with the Yankees. Kearns came up to bat with a .192 average and two RBIs in a part-time role. “It’s a funny game,” Kearns said. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he used Burnett deeper in the game because Mariano Rivera was not available due to a sore right triceps muscle. Rivera told Girardi that he was sore after blowing a save against the Mets on Sunday. The 41-year-old closer said he’s not “concerned at all” and hopes to be able to pitch Tuesday. The Yankees are reeling right now and get upset in the second game against the Tribe. MLB Picks: Cleveland Indians Bet MLB all season long at BetPhoenix.

The New York Yankees had Derek Jeter back in the lineup for the first game against the Cleveland Indians, but it was not enough to get a win. They hope game two is different.
