The New York Yankee split a doubleheader with the Cleveland Indians

The Yankees bullpen was also good with Adam Warren giving four shutout innings in the second game and Preston Claiborne and Boone Logan pitching well in the first game. The Yankees were without David Robertson and Mariano Rivera in these games so it was huge for the other guys to step up.
