The Yankees and Indians will play three in the Bronx Monday-Wednesday before New York heads out of town for a long West Coast trip.  The Yankees are struggling, having lost seven of their last eight games.  Cleveland comes off a series loss to Tampa Bay.  Here is a series preview of the Tribe and pinstripes.

Yankees fell to the Indians 5-3 thanks to 8 shutout  innings by the former top Red Sox prospect, Justin Masterson. This was also the first game back from the DL for Yankee starter Phil Hughes, who went 5 innings, giving up 2 runs in the loss. Is Phil Hughes ready to put in a strong second half?
