CLEVELAND (AP) - Curtis Granderson hit his 200th career homer as the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 4-2 Sunday.

The Yankees took a 3-0 lead in the second inning off Ubaldo Jimenez (9-13). Granderson's 33rd homer in the sixth made it 4-2 and gave New York a record eight current players with 200 or more career homers.

The Yankees took two of three in the series following a three-game losing streak, opening a four-game lead in the AL East over idle Tampa Bay.

Jason Kipnis had three hits and three stolen bases for Cleveland, which has lost nine of 10 and is 5-23 since July 26.

Boone Logan (5-2) pitched 1 2-3 innings of relief for the win. Rafael Soriano got four outs for his 33rd save in 35 chances.
