NEW YORK – Chien-Ming Wang shut down Cleveland's powerful lineup, Robinson Cano homered off hard-luck loser Paul Byrd and New York stopped its losing streak at four.

Meeting for the first time this season, the Indians and Yankees entered tied for the major league lead with 359 runs apiece. But Wang and Byrd silenced the offenses in an old-fashioned pitchers' duel, and New York's bullpen closed it out.
