Yankees 9, Rangers 2
A.J. Burnett needed 118 pitches to get through his six-inning start. (LM Otero/AP)
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
A.J. Burnett didn't need much support, but he got plenty. Mark Teixeira hit a two-run shot in the first, and Hideki Matsui smacked a pair of home runs. Burnett held the Rangers scoreless for six innings and won to pull the Yanks into a tie for first place in the AL East.
