The Yankees offense finally came to life Saturday, as Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson each launched two-run homers to right to propel the Yankees to a 5-3 victory.
Best of All: Both of the home run boys were really struggling before today and needed a game like today to break out of the slump. Teixeira’s homer tied the game at 3 in the third, and Granderson smacked his in the next inning.
Once Phil Hughes had a lead to work with, he didn’t lose it. He tossed a strong seven innings to advance to 10-1 on the year.
The bullpen got it done, too. Joba Chamberlain and Mariano Rivera worked fairly quickly eighth and ninth innings to secure the win.
Worst of All: Derek Jeter didn’t play today with a sore heel injury. It seems to be a pretty minor injury since he isn’t getting any tests.
Alex Rodriguez went hitless in three at-bats, as did Jorge Posada.
Coming Up: The decisive Game 3 is Sunday. Same time, same place.
