Yanks, Burnett beat Indians 8-0; A-Rod at 599 Eds: APNewsNow. Yankees 8, Indians 0.

CLEVELAND (AP) Alex Rodriguez had two hits, but not homer No.

600, to support another sharp outing by a resurgent A.J. Burnett and the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 8-0 Wednesday night.

Burnett (9-8) earned his third win in four starts, the only blemish coming in a start in which he cut his hands hitting a door out of frustration. On Wednesday he allowed seven hits over 6 1-3 innings as the Yankees improved the best record in the majors with their sixth win in eight games and AL-leading ninth shutout.

Rodriguez didn't come close to getting his elusive 600th homer, though he went 2 for 5 with a run-scoring single in the first inning off Fausto Carmona (10-8).
