"That was nice to see," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of the home runs. "You look up and you have five solo shots and you have a 5-1 lead in the third inning, that's nice to see. It's something that we hit a lot of last year. We have not this year up to this point, but maybe this gets us going."
Right-hander Ivan Nova started for the Yankees, replacing the injured CC Sabathia.
