Wow! I already had a chunk of this recap written and had to erase a paragraph or two after that ninth inning. After a lackluster showing for the first eight innings, the Yankee bats slugged their way to a six-run inning in the ninth to win this game 9-7.
Not the best Tanaka start
After tossing a scoreless first, Masahiro Tanaka gave up a run in the second. He allowed a double to Prince Fielder and Elvis Andrus later drove him in with an RBI single, making it 1-0 Rangers.
After the Yanks tied it with Chase Headley‘s homer, Masahiro got into another jam in the third.
