Early misplays hurt Yankees, late rally vs Texas falls short

Prince Fielder launched two long homers, connecting for a three-run drive after misplays by Pineda and Gregorius, and the Texas Rangers held on for a 10-9 win Friday night that sent the Yankees to their fourth straight loss. Pinch-hitter Garrett Jones' three-run homer in the eighth made it 10-8. Journeyman Ross Ohlendorf took over to begin the ninth, gave up a one-out home run to Mark Teixeira and walked Chase Headley with two outs. Gregorius hit his first homer for the Yankees, a three-run shot in the fourth. Back home after a 2-7 trip, the Yankees watched Fielder's three-run shot sail into the second deck during a seven-run burst in the third inning. The Yankees cited the Elias Sports Bureau, the statistician of Major League Baseball, and said A-Rod was one behind Lou Gehrig for third. Yet it was his sacrifice bunt that caused real trouble for the Yankees, with Pineda looking toward a possible forceout at third before throwing wide to first, loading the bases with no outs. After Shin-Soo Choo hit an RBI single, Fielder homered deep to right field.
