Teixeira helps the Yankees defeat the White Sox


Coming off a rough April, Teixeira hit two-run doubles and three singles that raised his average to .189. Scoring a game-high four hits, Mark Teixeira along with Robinson Canó, who had a three-run homer, and another dominating performance from Phil Hughes clinched the New York Yankees’ 12-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.

The first run came from the speedy Gardner when his two-out grounder in the second deflected off Konerko’s glove at first base and away from second baseman Gordon Beckham. The infield single scored Cano, who led off with a double.

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillén was ejected during Gardner’s at-bat in the seventh inning after an argument over strikes and balls with home plate umpire Dan Iassogna. It was the second time Guillén has been ejected this season and the 21st time in his coaching career.

Without a doubt, the White Sox’s 12-3 loss to the Yankees is one of their most embarrassing losses, and head coach Guillén has called on the players to “turn the page immediately” and “worry about what’s next.” “.

However, for the Yankees everything is going well. This victory gives the Yankees an enviable 16-8. They have lost in only one of the last eight series they have played, with Baltimore visiting the city on Monday for a three-game series at Yankee Stadium.

This game against the White Sox was the first the Yankees played since center fielder Curtis Granderson was placed on the disabled list after suffering a groin strain in Saturday’s 7-6 loss.
