Indians fall to Yankees 6 in ALCS exit at Yankee Stadium
Akron Beacon Journal sportswriter Terry Pluto notes the Indians were edged by New York in a seven game ALCS, plagued by poor clutch hitting and shaky starting pitching. He cites five runners left on in the first three innings, a costly error sequence, and calls for a middle infield upgrade and a true ace to challenge the Yankees next season.

Indians fall to Yankees as umps and flaws doom series
The Indians were beaten by the Yankees 5 6 in Game 6, with controversial umpiring a focal point. Omar Vizquel misplay and Ted Hendry's call helped New York build a big early lead, while Cleveland errors produced unearned runs. Jim Thome’s grand slam kept the Indians alive briefly, but they could not close the gap.
