Indians Deny Alex Rodriguez 600th Homer; Rays Up Next
CLEVELAND — Alex Rodriguez went homerless for the seventh game in a row, so Major League Baseball has to ship another batch of those specially marked baseballs to Tampa Bay.
Because Rodriguez is still one home run shy of 600 for his career.
“I guess we’ll talk about it again tomorrow,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Thursday night. “Unless something happens overnight.”
The wait lasted four games in Cleveland, where Rodriguez went 3-for-17. He had two 0-for-4 nights, and in the fourth game of a four-game series had six plate appearances and was 1-for-4 (with a walk and a sacrifice fly).
