Teixeira homers, has 4 RBIs in Yankees’ win (AP)
The matchup between first-place teams fizzled with the Yankees' first batted ball. Nyjer Morgan got twisted up in center field and fell trying to catch Curtis Granderson's routine fly that ended up a run-scoring triple, and New York gave Zack Greinke and the sloppy Milwaukee Brewers a rude welcome back to the Bronx in a 12-2 drubbing Tuesday night.

Royals come back to beat Yankees, 4-3 in 11 (AP)
Eric Hosmer's family rose from their seats at Yankee Stadium, watching his first career home run go soaring into the second deck in right field. They were probably more excited about his sacrifice fly about three hours later. Hosmer drove in Chris Getz with a shallow flyball in the 11th inning, capping a late comeback and lifting the Royals to a 4-3 win over the New York Yankees.

Chavez helps Yankees scratch out 5-4 victory (AP)
The New York Yankees are built around their big boppers, and they relied on the long ball to power their way through much of April.

Yanks fan: Why are the Yankees scouting Carlos Silva? (Associated Content)
The part I don't understand about baseball is not the reverse force double play, the infield fly rule, or even free agency (although I am still fuzzy on Rule 5). No, the part I don't understand is why the general manager of the New York Yankees, Brian Cashman, is supposedly paying scouts money to assess a mediocre pitcher with anger management issues. I am particularly confused about this as a great many of my Yankee articles have involved the current pitching staff and the new guys trying to show off their skills for a spot in the rotation.
