NEW YORK (AP) - Shelley Duncan homered twice, including a three-run drive that capped a 10-run fourth inning Sunday in the surging New York Yankees' 21-4 rout of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Alex Rodriguez, batting with sunglasses on a sunny afternoon, hit his major league-leading 34th homer and No. 498 of his career.
Hideki Matsui, Bobby Abreu and Robinson Cano also homered as the Yankees hit six home runs in a game for the first time in two years.
New York had 25 hits, reaching 20 for the second straight game and improving to a season-best five over .500. Matsui tied his regular-season high with five hits, and every Yankees starter had a hit, a run and an RBI. Rodriguez pushed his big league-leading RBIs total to 99 in 97 games plus the suspended contest against Baltimore.
