Game 24 - Long Ball Lifts Yanks Again

Two home runs in the first 3 innings, including a grand slam by Alex Rodriguez, who started his first (and like last) game in the outfield, gave the Yankees a 7-1 lead, that they would not relinquish.

Chris Capuano struggled some in the 4th inning giving up 3 runs in the frame, but overall pitched a solid 6 innings.

The win moved the Yankees to 18-6, 5 games ahead of the BoSox in the AL East. With the win, the Yankees have now won all 8 series so far this season. They go for the sweep in the next game, as Nathan Eovaldi (2-0) takes on Joe Kelly (1-2).
