Combining for four homers and nine RBIs, Cliff Johnson and Toby Harrah paced the Indians to a 16-3 rout of the Yankees. Harrah's solo blast and Johnson's two-run shot gave the Tribe a 3-0 lead in the first inning. Harrah connected for a three-run round-tripper to highlight an eight-run outburst in the fourth and Johnson added a three-run swat in the fifth.
