Game 122: Home Runs Make An Impact

In an 8-4 victory, the Yankees benefitted from 3 home runs and the reversal of a Minnesota one.

Mark Teixeira hit a home run tonight and Nick Swisher went back-to-back with Andruw Jones. In the 1st inning, Justin Morneau hit a two-run home run that was looked over on instant replay and was announced as a foul ball instead. This occurred a dau after a solo home run by the Royals Billy Butler hit a home run that was declared a home run despite it not looking like a home run and Joe Torre also said the umpire made a mistake.

CC Sabathia went 7 innings and scattered 10 hits while striking out 9.
