Alex Rodriguez's pursuit of history enters its second week after A-Rod failed to go deep in Thursday night's 11-4 win over the Indians. A-Rod went 1-for-4 with a walk, a sacrifice fly and three RBI, extending his quest for No. 600 to 30 at-bats over seven games.
Since he hit his 599th homer last Thursday, A-Rod is 9-for-30 (.300) with seven RBI, going 34 plate appearances without a long ball. The 34 plate appearances match his fourth-longest power outage of the season.
The Yankees' offense struggled through the first six innings against the Indians pitching staff, which was forced to patch together seven innings of relief after starter Mitch Talbot left with nobody out in the third with a mid-back strain.
But a seven-run seventh turned a one-run game into a laugher, sending the Yankees into their weekend series in Tampa Bay feeling good about themselves after taking three of four from the Tribe. (Daily News)
