Yankees.  The score was 12 to 6.

Cleveland scored 6 runs in the decisive top of the 4th inning when they came
up with 5 base hits.  The critical plate appearance was by Andy Pafko who

with 15 hits while New York ended up with 9.  

The victory was credited to Mike Garcia(1-0) who went 6 innings, allowing 5
