"That was important for me, to show I can still do it," Teixeira said. "Obviously it's been a tough season for me. I feel like I'm taking good swings, and I got a good result on the last at-bat there."
Teixeira came into the season with 394 home runs, and Beltran trailed him by two at 392. While Teixeira is still looking up at the Mendoza line after Sunday's 1-for-3 performance, batting .176, Beltran has breezed by in the battle between the switch-hitters. Beltran hit No. 400 on May 15, and his team-leading 19 give him a career total of 411.
