A bit of history: Yankees suffer their worst loss ever: 22-0 Debacle against Indians reduces N.Y. lead over Boston to 3 1/2 games Sept . 1, 2004 NEW YORK - The hits and runs kept coming, spinning by on the scoreboard as fast as symbols on a slot machine. It wasn’t just a rout, it was an epic defeat, the most one-sided in the 101-year history of the New York Yankees. Cleveland’s 22-0 victory Tuesday night matched the biggest post-1900 shutout margin in the major leagues, Pittsburgh’s win at the Chicago Cubs on Sept. 16, 1975. “There’s a certain element of embarrassment, no question,” Yankees manager Joe Torre said. “It’s hard to handle. It’s something you have to bounce back from.”
