 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Jason Giambi and Tino Martinez homered twice, and the New York Yankees matched their season high with six in an 8-4 victory over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night.
Giambi and Jorge Posada put the Yankees ahead to stay with consecutive homers in the second off Joaquin Benoit (1-1), who struck out the first four batters he faced and got a flyball out before then.
Benoit then walked a batter before retiring eight more in a row until Martinez's one-out homer in the fifth. Bubba Crosby and Derek Jeter had consecutive singles before Robinson Cano's three-run homer made it 6-1, and Benoit was pulled without throwing a pitch in the sixth even after coming out to warm up.
