Yankees.com: Tex hits 24th homer as Yanks rout Brewers
NEW YORK—When Mark Teixeira matched Toronto’s Jose Bautista for the Major League lead in home runs on Sunday, he joked that watching former Yankees first baseman Tino Martinez homer in the preceding Old-Timers’ game had served as motivation.
Teixeira did not see Bautista retake the lead in the homer race early Tuesday evening, but it did not stop him from striking back with his 24th home run of the season, a two-run shot in the sixth inning that accounted for half of his RBIs in the Yankees’ 12-2 rout of the Brewers.
Maybe this interleague play stuff isn’t so bad.
