?once nick swisher and the new york yankees kept mark trumbo in the park — barely, too — they were ready to rally.
mark teixeira homered twice and drove in five runs, canadian russell martin hit a go-ahead single and the yankees overcame yet another homer by trumbo to storm past the los angeles angels 6-5 friday night.
teixeira's three-run shot and martin's two-out single in the eighth inning overcame the angels' 5-2 edge. the yankees,timberland shoes,brian kammer, with the best record in the majors,timberland boots, returned from the all-star break and won for the fifth time in six games.
"it's a new start,waterproof leather boots," teixeira said. "the first half really doesn't mean anything."
trumbo homered in his fifth straight game against the yankees. his three-run shot in the seventh made him the first yankees opponent to homer five games in a row since albert belle in 1994,timberland boots sale, stats llc said. harold baines in 1984-85 is the only other player to do that against new york, the yankees said in citing the elias sports bureau.
"yeah? i guess,timberland boots men, pretty cool," trumbo said. "but if it wasn't enough to get a win, it's just a novelty."
trumbo nearly hit another homer, but his bid for a two-run drive to right field was caught by a leaping swisher at the top of the wall in the eighth. trumbo is 11 for 22 with five homers and 10 rbis against new york this season. |
