Houston Astros fight back, fall 9-6 on Mark Teixeira double

There was a ton of action today at Minute Made Park, but it would be the New York Yankees who would walk away with the victory after defeating the Houston Astros by the final score of 9-6, grabbing the two-game series advantage Saturday afternoon.

Catcher Brian McCann jumped all over starting pitcher Brett Oberholtzer early, launching a grand slam to right field, scoring Brett Gardner, Chris Young, and Alex Rodriguez to make it 4-0 during the top half of the first inning.
