Yankees have no answers for Lee By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com http://0rz.tw/5245n NEW YORK -- The Yankees never broke through against Cliff Lee on Wednesday, but that hardly sets them apart from the rest of the American League. The Indians' left-hander spun seven scoreless innings to defeat New York, 3-0. In a matchup of undefeated hurlers, the Indians got to Chien-Ming Wang early, scoring once in the first inning and tacking on runs in the fourth and fifth frames. Victor Martinez's sacrifice fly brought home Grady Sizemore with Cleveland's first run, and Casey Blake and David Dellucci added run-scoring hits to stake Lee to a 3-0 lead. Wang opened the year with six wins and seven team victories through his first seven starts, and he had won his previous 11 starts immediately following a Yankees loss. On Wednesday he appeared to give up more well-struck fly balls and liners than usual. Coming in with a 0.96 ERA, Lee cruised on one hit through the first four innings before having to pitch out of trouble in the fifth, when Melky Cabrera and Robinson Cano reached on one-out singles. Lee struck out Morgan Ensberg swinging -- one of seven strikeouts on the evening, with no walks -- and got Jose Molina to fly out, ending the inning. New York also left two in scoring position in the sixth, when Hideki Matsui struck out to strand Bobby Abreu and Shelley Duncan, and Molina spiked his bat to the grass in frustration after Lee struck him out to end the seventh, leaving a runner on. Matsui extended his hitting streak to 16 games in the loss, equaling his career high. --
