BRONX, N.Y. — It was a wild west shootout in the South Bronx. The seesaw affair saw the New York Yankees overcome a nine-run deficit to defeat the Texas Rangers 14-13.
Some of the Yankees 2005 pitching saviors were battered around in the early going of this 2006 contest. Shawn Chacon was lit up for seven runs in 1.1 innings of work.
Yet, the pinstripes would chip away against Rangers starter John Koronka. A Miguel Cairo single to left in the second stanza got the Yankees on the board. Derek Jeter, who collected four hits on the evening, delivered an RBI-double to center in the third inning.
