Big day in the Bronx: Indians' 14-run second inning powers 22-4 landslide over Yankees



Only the second time the Yankees have given up 22 runs at home !

Fourteen runs, 13 hits and Slam No.2 to boot. Now that's an inning.
"I don't think I've ever been part of something like that," said Ben Francisco.

Not many people have, especially if they're wearing pinstripes.

Asdrubal Cabrera hit a grand slam and drove in five runs in a 14-run second inning Saturday as the Indians scored another 20-something victory over the Yankees. This time the final score was 22-4, which isn't as bad the Tribe's 22-0 victory in the Bronx on Aug. 31, 2004 -- the worst loss in Yankee history -- but it will leave a mark.

The Yankees have won 26 World Championships to the Indians' two. They've dominated the regular-season series, with more than 1,000 victories over the Indians. The Tribe, however, has certainly had its moments.
They are the only visiting team to score 22 runs against the Yankees. They've done it twice.
