The Yankees keep pace by shutting out Cleveland, 4 – 0, behind Bartolo Colon’s 5th win of they year. However, the win proves costly as the big pitcher who is making a remarkable comeback from a year away from baseball must leave the game in the 7th with a strained hamstring and will be placed on the disabled list after the game; 3B Alex Rodriguez is hit in the hip by Mitch Talbot after blasting one of three Yankee solo homers on the day – Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira hit the others – and must also leave the game, although the injury is minor. Talbot also leaves early, being ejected for throwing at A-Rod.
