Error-less, Swisher-full

The Yankees have set the Major League record for 18 games in a row without an error, a record set by, of course, the Boston Red Sox.

New York took a 5-2 win over the Cleveland Indians tonight with a balance of escaping bases-loaded jams defensively and leaving plenty of bases-loaded opportunities offensively. Although plenty of guys were left on base, the Yanks did it when they had to, with Nick Swisher leading the way with a couple of hits and two RBI.

Joba proved me wrong, going a career-high eight innings (something Yankees starters don't often do), using all 106 pitches well until Mariano Rivera came in for his 11th save in 12 chances.
