Sabathia (12-4) dominated his former team by striking out 11 in seven scoreless innings. He scattered five hits to improve to 9-1 in his last 10 starts.

Granderson capped a five-run second inning with a two-run blast and added a solo homer in the fourth to give him four in his last four games and tie Mark Teixeira for the team lead with 25.

Indians starter Carlos Carrasco (8-5) was pelted for six runs on 10 hits in four innings. Lou Marson and Michael Brantley had sacrifice flies in the ninth to prevent a shutout.

Robinson Cano, Nick Swisher and Jorge Posada each had two hits and an RBI as New York collected 17 hits.
