NEW YORK -- The minute he got ejected, Mike Napoli screamed and pointed right in the face of plate umpire Lance Barrett.Cleveland manager Terry Francona arrived a moment or two after that -- already too late to keep his cleanup hitter in the game -- and shook his head slightly before shuffling back to the dugout.No doubt, it was a frustrating week for the first-place Indians.Masahiro Tanaka rebounded from two rocky outings, Didi Gregorius homered on his bobblehead day and the New York Yankees held off Cleveland 3-2 Sunday after announcing that Alex Rodriguez will soon play his final game in pinstripes.Its been a difficult week, but I think everybodys ready to move on, Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis said.Cleveland, which remained two games ahead of Detroit, has dropped five of seven.Carlos Carrasco (7-6) also bounced back from a poor start and struck out nine in seven solid innings for the Indians, who tried to rally late but were unable to take advantage of three New York errors.I thought he was pretty good, Francona said. It seemed like every pitch he really paid for. It was never a single, it was a homer, double or triple. All three hurt us.The right-hander has lost three consecutive starts for the first time since dropping five straight in July 2011.I thought he pitched more than good enough to win the game. This one was on the offense, Kipnis said.Mark Teixeira, two days since disclosing his own plans to retire at the end of the season, hit an RBI double for the Yankees and dove toward first base to complete a crucial play on defense.Dellin Betances got four outs for his second save as New York took two of three from the AL Central leaders and won the season series 5-2.An irate Napoli was quickly tossed when he protested a called third strike in the eighth. The slugger, who jawed extensively with Barrett after strike two, got right into the umpires face and might have nicked him with the bill of his helmet.Hit hard by the Mets in a Subway Series loss last week, Tanaka (8-4) was lifted with a 3-0 lead following Rajai Davis leadoff double in the seventh.We swung at a lot of bad pitches, Davis said. We were maybe a little bit overaggressive.Davis scored when Adam Warren gave up an RBI single to No. 9 batter Roberto Perez, his second hit of the day after entering 2 for 40 (.050) this season.With two on, the 36-year-old Teixeira went to his knees for a sliding stop of Francisco Lindors two-out grounder behind first base. Teixeira gathered himself and barely beat Lindor to the bag with his outstretched mitt as both players dove headfirst.The effort drew cheers from a crowd of 39,720 that also gave Tanaka a warm ovation as he walked off the mound.Cleveland scored an unearned run on a wild pitch in the eighth and nearly got something going in the ninth.Chris Gimenez short-hopped the left-field fence with a leadoff drive but was held to a single by Brett Gardner. Second baseman Starlin Castro then started a difficult double play on Carlos Santanas sharp grounder, and Betances struck out Kipnis to end it.We just didnt get that big hit, Davis said.Gardner hit a leadoff triple in the first and scored on Jacoby Ellsburys sacrifice fly.Tanaka struck out eight and walked none.I thought on a day when he especially wasnt overpowering, his secondary pitches were really effective. Every time we tried to pull him, we played into his hand, Francona said. He knows how to pitch.About 2 hours before the game, Rodriguez and the rebuilding Yankees (56-55) announced the slumping slugger will play Friday night against Tampa Bay at Yankee Stadium and then be released. After that, he plans to become a special adviser and instructor with the organization next year.This is a tough day. I love this game and I love this team, the 41-year-old Rodriguez said, often choking up. And today Im saying goodbye to both.YER OUTTA HERENapoli, who leads the team with 28 homers and 79 RBI, was ejected for the sixth time in his career.STREAKINGJose Ramirez had two hits and scored once, extending his hitting streak to a career-high 12 games. He is batting .426 during the streak.UP NEXTFollowing an off day, Cleveland opens a two-game interleague series at NL East-leading Washington. Good test right there, Kipnis said. RHP Trevor Bauer (7-5, 4.08 ERA) starts Tuesday night against All-Star RHP Max Scherzer (12-6, 2.87). RHP Josh Tomlin will pitch Wednesday for the Indians instead of RHP Mike Clevinger.

Its been 25 years, almost to the day, since Penrith last beat Canberra in a rugby league finals match.But, according to coach Anthony Griffin, thats ancient history.Most of these blokes werent even born then, he smiled.The two sides go head-to-head on Saturday in the NRLs second semi-final at GIO Stadium, with the winner to play Melbourne next week for a spot in the grand final.The Raiders and Panthers met in back-to-back deciders in 1990 and 1991 - with the Green Machine claiming honours first up and the men in black getting their revenge a year later.But since then, Penrith have lost all three playoffs against Canberra - two of them in the nations capital.Its club history but thats never been a focus of ours, added Griffin.Our main focus has just been trying to build the team weve got at the moment and play for ourselves, but also our members and our fans.Its a massive year for our club being our 50th year and the players have got a real desire to recognise that with our performances so that the whole of our distrrict - members, fans, people at Penrith - can be proud of their football team.ddddddddddddRaiders coach Ricky Stuart played in that 91 grand final and hopes history doesnt repeat itself.I dont take too much out of it, but Id like to be able to say theres a different result, he said.Stuart has been a stickler for acknowledging the clubs past successes, inviting a swag of ex-players to games throughout the season.It was no different this week, with former utility Rowan Brennan speaking to the team in the sheds before training on Wednesday night.He was Raider No.26 and hes a great, passionate member of our club, Stuart said.Its nice to see the faces of our ex-players hanging around and still showing great interest in the club.Canberra have won just four of 15 finals matches played since 1998, and only two of its past 12.They are the only team to not reach a preliminary final in the NRL era.
