Cleveland beat the Yankees by the most lopsided scores, 19-1, on of all days the Boss's birthday. Oddly, it is not the most lopsided game in their history. The Indians beat the Yankees by 22 runs once (22-0) on August 31, 2004, by 20 once (21-1 on July 24, 1999), and by 18 two other times (21-3 on July 14, 1904 and 18-0 on July 10, 1936). The Yankees once beat the Indians by 18 runs (24-6) on July 29, 1928.

Verlander and Haren live up to their game of the day status as each goes seven innings, allowing just one run. Dan pitched a bit better, striking out seven and walking none. But it came down to the bullpens, and...
