As happens on most nights, the Yankees won on Monday, a 3-2 decision over the home Cleveland Indians. And as happens on most nights, Alex Rodriguez didn’t go deep. The Yankee third baseman was back in the lineup after taking a pitch off the hand on Sunday, but facing trade candidate Jake Westbrook and Chris Perez, he wound up 0-4, doing the following:
