 NEW YORK (AP) - A little rest did a lot of good for Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod rejoined the Yankees' lineup and showed off All-Star form Friday night, hitting a home run that tied him with Lou Gehrig on the career list and leading New York to a wild 14-9 win over the Los Angeles Angels.
A day after a strained left hamstring forced him to miss his only game this year, Rodriguez connected. He leads the majors with 29 home runs and 82 RBIs, and his 493rd homer matched Gehrig and Fred McGriff for 22nd place.
"It is tight. It's going to be like this for a little bit," Rodriguez said. "Hopefully, I'll manage it."
