Alex Rodriguez prefers victories to hitting home runs — even historic homers. Rodriguez drove in three runs without hitting his 600th homer and the New York Yankees used a seven-run seventh inning to beat the Cleveland Indians 11-4 Thursday night. Dustin Moseley (1-0) won his first start, allowing a run and four hits over six innings as New York took three of four in a series that saw A-Rod's…

Josh Tomlin will have a couple of big tests when he makes his big-league debut for the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.

Reid Brignac liked his defense even more than his three-run homer. So did Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon. Brignac staked Wade Davis to a 3-1 lead with one swing, then made a diving stop to help the right-hander remain unbeaten in July as the Rays beat the Cleveland Indians 4-2 Sunday. "I was at the right place at the right time," Brignac said of taking away at least one run and possibly two…

Joe Maddon celebrated quietly in his office with a postgame light beer. It would have been understandable if he was spraying champagne. After nearly five years and 18 straight losses, the Tampa Bay Rays finally won in Cleveland. "It had to happen at some point," said Maddon, the Rays' bespectacled manager.
