Raul Mondesi had no trouble adjusting to the New York Yankees' winning ways.

Mondesi reached base in all four of his at-bats, drove in a run and scored twice Tuesday night as the Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 10-5 in his debut in pinstripes.

''Now, I know I'm going to play for something,'' Mondesi said before the game. ''Now, I know I have a good chance to play for a champion team. I don't want to say anything bad against the Blue Jays, but every game we played, the first few innings, we were losing 5-0, 6-0.''

Mondesi was hitting just .224 for the Blue Jays when the Yankees acquired him Monday for Double-A reliever Scott Wiggins. But he showed a glimpse of what he is capable of right from his first at-bat, when he walked and was caught stealing. Mondesi also was hit by a pitch, reached on an error and singled in a run during the Yankees' seven-run seventh inning.

Jorge Posada hit his fourth career grand slam in the seventh to help the Yankees overcome Jim Thome's record-setting homer off Roger Clemens, which put Cleveland up 3-0 in the first. Thome became the first Indians player to homer in six straight games.

Clemens left after five innings with cramps in his right leg. He has not won in his last four starts and still has 288 career victories.
