The New York Yankees crushed Chicago Cubs on Sunday to complete the sweep and add to their hot start to June.

In an 18-4 victory, Chicago sent the first baseman Frank Schwendel came down the hill on the eighth to give the ball a break on the aggregate. One of Schwendel’s fields may be among the slowest on record in a Major League Baseball game.
