After taking two-of-three games from the Minnesota Twins, the New York Yankees headed down South to the Lone Star State to take on the Texas Rangers. If you thought it was hot outside today in the boogie down Bronx, think again. First pitch at 8:05 pm EST in Rangers Ballpark in Arlington was a scorching 99 degrees, as Matt Harrison was set to square off against Ivan Nova.
The Rangers jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning, as Elvis Andrus doubled in Josh Hamilton and Leonys Martin singled in Andrus.
