Tom Brennan went the distance for the first time in five starts since being recalled from the minors, unfurling a six-hitter as the Indians downed the Yankees, 6-2. The Tribe took a 1-0 lead in their first turn at bat on an RBI single by Toby Harrah, and sent N.Y. starter Rick Reuschel to the showers in the second on singles by Jerry Dybzinski and Miguel Dilone and a two-run single by Jorge Orta. Cleveland scored three times in the seventh on a run-scoring single by Orta, RBI double by Von Hayes and RBI singe by Harrah. [The Sporting News]
