Durbin actully had a good weekend, although I don't care if he stays or goes I'd probably rather Talbot to Columbus; of course neither Mitch nor Chad has any options so we'd have to DFA. I would like to see Gomez get some time in the rotation. But he doesn't seem likely to get the call for Thursday since he pitched 8 innings Sunday. McAllister could be available.

Kearns powers Tribe, Tomlin past Yanks

By Zack Meisel / MLB.com | 7/4/2011 9:20 PM ET


CLEVELAND -- Austin Kearns stepped into the batter's box in the seventh inning Monday with no homers and two RBIs in 104 at-bats. In one powerful swing of the bat, he produced one home run, three RBIs and the decisive offense in a 6-3 win against the Yankees.

Four Indians crossed home plate with two outs in the seventh to turn a 2-0 deficit into a 4-2 edge.

Before a late offensive onslaught, there was an old-fashioned pitchers' duel at Progressive Field.

Those who weren't too busy barbecuing or setting off fireworks had their eyes on Indians starter Josh Tomlin, who held the Yankees hitless through six innings.

Derek Jeter, activated from the 15-day disabled list before the game, reached on an error by third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall to start the contest. He finished 0-for-4 and remains six hits shy of 3,000 for his career. Curtis Granderson followed with a walk. Then Tomlin promptly set down the next 18 Yankees.

Tomlin set a modern Major League record by pitching at least five innings for the 29th consecutive start, the longest streak to begin a career. Boston's Daisuke Matsuzaka previously held the record with 28 straight outings of five or more frames.

But first baseman Mark Teixeira started the seventh with a sharp single up the middle, and Robinson Cano followed with an infield single. Right fielder Nick Swisher then belted a fastball into the gap in left-center field to score two.

Yankees starter A.J. Burnett had been nearly as sharp as Tomlin through the first six innings, holding the Indians to two hits -- both by All-Star shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera. But the wheels fell off in the seventh for Burnett, too.

He walked Grady Sizemore and Chisenhall and, with two outs, Shelley Duncan fouled off four pitches before lofting an RBI single in front of Swisher, just inside the right-field foul line.

Kearns followed with the opposite-field shot, sending the sellout crowd of 40,676 into a frenzy. The home run raised his batting average to .200. It was his first time clearing the fences since Aug. 22, 2010, when he was a member of the Yankees.

Carlos Santana tacked on a two-run homer in the eighth.
