CLEVELAND — Left fielder Michael Brantley's RBI single in the bottom of the 16th inning gave Cleveland a 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees in the American League Tuesday. With one out in the bottom of the 16th, second baseman Jose Ramirez singled off right-hander Branden Pinder (0-2). Shortstop Francisco Lindor then singled, moving Ramirez to second before Brantley lined a 1-0 pitch past first baseman Mark Teixeira for a single to bring Ramirez home. “It was a long night and a lot of things happened, but it was fun to be a part of it,” said Indians manager Terry Francona. The game had been tied 2-2 after nine innings. After the Yankees took a 4-2 lead in the top of the 10th inning, the Indians rallied to tie it in the bottom half, forcing Andrew Miller's first blown save of the season.
