CC Sabathia won his fifth straight start to become the first 12-game winner in the majors and Curtis Granderson homered twice to power the visiting New York Yankees to a 9-2 rout of the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.
Derek Jeter had two hits and two RBIs to move within four hits of becoming the first Yankee to reach 3,000 for a career.
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.
