ARLINGTON, Texas -- These amazing Yankees put on another home run show Wednesday night, and along the way rewrote record books once again.
This should have been a night to celebrate the end of a long, surreal and incredibly impressive roadtrip.
The Yankees were up 4-0 on the Texas Rangers through 3 1/2 innings with CC Sabathia pitching a no-hitter and leading 10-5 through 4 1/2 on the strength of four more homers.
All that slugging wasn't enough.
Sabathia collapsed in a big way, then the Yankees bullpen did the same and the end result was a 12-10 setback and a first series loss in six weeks.
