Indians edge Yankees, 4-3, for fifth straight win

Saturday, April 26, 2008

CLEVELAND — Victor Martinez’s bases-loaded single scored Grady Sizemore from third with one out in the ninth inning and the Cleveland Indians won their season-high fifth straight, 4-3 over the New York Yankees on Saturday. Martinez slapped a pitch from Ross Ohlendorf into left to bring in Sizemore, who moments earlier came up limping while running the bases. But Cleveland’s speedy center fielder scored easily after Martinez came through with his first career walk-off hit.
