Yankees Win at Texas, 4-1
The New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers, 4-1, at Arlington Stadium. Nick Esasky was recognized as player of the game for his performance. He went 2-4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. The 32-year old first baseman was a menace to Texas all day. Wes Gardner got the save, his 24th in 27 chances. New York is now 56-75.

An important at-bat for New York came with two out in the top of the first. With a runner on 2nd, Esasky hit a 2-run home run, which contributed to the Yankees win.

"We played hard and won," said Esasky. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
