The Cleveland Indians made themselves at home in the Bronx on Thursday, as evidenced by their seven-run first inning against the New York Yankees. After hitting a grand slam to start things off, Jose Ramirez added to the Yankee fans' misery by hitting a two-run bomb off reliever Jonathan Loaisiga in the second inning, extending their lead to 9-1.
