New York Yankees 6 – Texas Rangers 2
The Yankees kept the hot hitting in toasty Texas.
Ivan Nova pitched a scoreless first inning but a two-out rally was tough for the Yankees starter in the second inning. Josh Hamilton hit a two-out single and Elvis Andrus made the most of the two-out at-bat and hit a double to left field, scoring the first run of the game. Leonys Martin followed with a single and scored Andrus to give the Rangers the early two-run lead.
