Two years later, the two initialed starting pitchers would anchor the Yankees rotation to a world title. This game started very poorly for CC Sabathia as he surrendered first inning solo shots to Alex Rios, Troy Glaus, and Aaron Hill. But he settled in to allow just one single over his final five frames, earning a quality start at the minimum standard and fanning nine without issuing a walk.
The Indians would turn it into a rout with five extra-base hits accounting for all of the runs. In the fourth, Travis Hafner’s two-run homer and Jhonny Peralta’s two-run double gave them the lead off AJ Burnett. Jhonny Peralta’s three-run homer in the fifth, Victor Martinez’ two-run double in the sixth, and Trot Nixon’s three-run homer in the eighth made it a 12-4 final.
