NEW YORK -- The minute he got ejected, Mike Napoli screamed and pointed right in the face of plate umpire Lance Barrett. Maliek Collins Jersey .Cleveland manager Terry Francona arrived a moment or two after that -- already too late to keep his cleanup hitter in the game -- and shook his head slightly before shuffling back to the dugout.No doubt, it was a frustrating week for the first-place Indians.Masahiro Tanaka rebounded from two rocky outings, Didi Gregorius homered on his bobblehead day and the New York Yankees held off Cleveland 3-2 Sunday after announcing that Alex Rodriguez will soon play his final game in pinstripes.Its been a difficult week, but I think everybodys ready to move on, Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis said.Cleveland, which remained two games ahead of Detroit, has dropped five of seven.Carlos Carrasco (7-6) also bounced back from a poor start and struck out nine in seven solid innings for the Indians, who tried to rally late but were unable to take advantage of three New York errors.I thought he was pretty good, Francona said.

We were maybe a little bit overaggressive.Davis scored when Adam Warren gave up an RBI single to No. 9 batter Roberto Perez, his second hit of the day after entering 2 for 40 (.050) this season.With two on, the 36-year-old Teixeira went to his knees for a sliding stop of Francisco Lindors two-out grounder behind first base. Teixeira gathered himself and barely beat Lindor to the bag with his outstretched mitt as both players dove headfirst.The effort drew cheers from a crowd of 39,720 that also gave Tanaka a warm ovation as he walked off the mound.Cleveland scored an unearned run on a wild pitch in the eighth and nearly got something going in the ninth.Chris Gimenez short-hopped the left-field fence with a leadoff drive but was held to a single by Brett Gardner. Second baseman Starlin Castro then started a difficult double play on Carlos Santanas sharp grounder, and Betances struck out Kipnis to end it.We just didnt get that big hit, Davis said.Gardner hit a leadoff triple in the first and scored on Jacoby Ellsburys sacrifice fly.Tanaka struck out eight and walked none.I thought on a day when he especially wasnt overpowering, his secondary pitches were really effective. Every time we tried to pull him, we played into his hand, Francona said. He knows how to pitch.About 2 hours before the game, Rodriguez and the rebuilding Yankees (56-55) announced the slumping slugger will play Friday night against Tampa Bay at Yankee Stadium and then be released. After that, he plans to become a special adviser and instructor with the organization next year.This is a tough day.

And today Im saying goodbye to both.YER OUTTA HERENapoli, who leads the team with 28 homers and 79 RBI, was ejected for the sixth time in his career.STREAKINGJose Ramirez had two hits and scored once, extending his hitting streak to a career-high 12 games.
