Yankee Stadium has the highest home run rate of any American League park. Into town comes a terrific Cleveland offense - fifth in runs scored, and sixth in slugging. The Indians have hit 15 homers their last seven games. Indians 1B Mike Napoli's home run streak ended at five games Thursday, but he is 10-for-21 with nine RBI and eight runs during his six-game hitting streak. Cleveland's Josh Tomlin (11-3, 3.43 ERA) is having a strong campaign with the team at 7-3 his last ten starts. Tomlin allowed two runs on six hits, struck out seven over seven innings in a victory against the Athletics on Saturday. He is 6-1 on the road with a 2.75 ERA and the Indians are 23-5 in his last 28 starts. New York may be home, but off another loss as part of a 2-6 run. Yankees' righty Michael Pineda (5-10, 5.13 ERA) has been erratic all year and comes off a poor outing at Tampa Bay in a 5-3 defeat. He has a losing record at home where he has allowed 15 of his 20 homers. Play Cleveland.
