Hideki Matsui led the Yankees with two RBI’s as he went 1-4 on the night.  Alex Rodriguez, Jason Giambi, and Morgan Ensberg also all had one RBI each.

Mike Mussina pitched five innings to pick up his third win of the season.  Mussina gave up seven hits but only two runs as he struckout two batters and walked one.  Jonathan Albaladejo, Kyle Farnsworth, Joba Chamberlain, and Mariano Rivera pitched the final four innings of the game and held the Indians scoreless.  Rivera picked up the save which was his eighth of the season.

Besides Rodriguez’s and Cano’s home runs, Johnny Damon and Morgan Ensberg also went deep.  Damon led the Yankees with three RBI’s, Derek Jeter had two RBI, while Rodriguez, Cano, and Ensberg all finished with one RBI.

Brian Bruney pitched in relief and picked up the win while Mariano Rivera picked up the save which was his fourth of the season.  Starting pitcher Ian Kennedy did pitch six innings giving up eight hits and three earned runs.  Kennedy had a pretty good performance, a lot better then his previous game.

Ensberg had a pretty bad 2007 season, and was actually non-tendered by the San Diego Padres.  So maybe changing uniforms and playing for a great team like the Yankees will get him going back in the right direction.
