May 13, 2013Yankees Blog | ESPN New York CLEVELAND -- The New York Yankees’ bats could muster very little as they fell victim to a complete-game shutout by the Cleveland Indians’ Justin Masterson in Game 1 on Monday. Yankees starter David Phelps (1-2) had a solid outing, fanning seven in 6 2/3 innings, but one mistake -- a solo home run by Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis in the first inning -- would prove to be the difference. Phelps said that he simply missed his location with a 2-2 fastball and Kipnis made him pay.

Bless You Boys Sometimes, you just have to tip your cap. Jason Kipnis fielded a sharp ground ball off the bat of Austin Jackson that looked destined for center field, and instead turned it into a near double-play. Given the context -- runners on first and second base with one out in the ninth inning -- it's safe to say that Kipnis made a game-saving play. The save should really go to Kipnis because shutdown closer Chris Perez was nice and mediocre — Grey (@spacemnkymafia) May 12, 2013 Here's Kipnis' flip from another angle.

May 10, 2013Akron Beacon Journal DETROIT: For the past 11 games, Asdrubal Cabrera has batted third in the lineup and Jason Kipnis second. Until then, their positions in the batting order had been reversed.“I think Cabrera said early that he’s more comfortable hitting third,” manager Terry Francona said. “I was a little stubborn about it, because I didn’t want left-handers hitting back to back (leadoff batter Michael Bourn and Kipnis).”So far, the change has benefited both players.
