Yankees post back-to-back 7-run innings, win 15-9 - Yahoo! Sports
New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi found little to get excited about after Mark Teixeira's solo homer in the sixth inning.
After all, the Yankees still trailed by eight runs.
''You're down 9-0 and Tex hits what looks like an innocent home run. Then we come back with back-to-back seven-run innings,'' Girardi said after New York rallied to beat Boston 15-9. ''I don't think I've ever been a part of that.''
Nick Swisher hit a grand slam in the seventh to help the Yankees erase a 9-0 deficit, then he added a two-run double in the eighth to give them the lead. The comeback matched the franchise's largest deficit overcome in a win, done five times.
Teixeira had six RBIs, homering from both sides of the plate for the 13th time in his career.
