Things looked destined for another tight, tense affair in the early going, as, down 1-0,
the Royals generated three hits in the bottom of the second to tie things up, but Jurrjens
escaped a second-and-third jam by inducing a Brandon Moss groundout. The Yankees' offense
took over from there: Mark Teixeira homered in the third. Mark DeRosa hit a two-run homer
in the fourth. Micah Hoffpauir hit a three-run homer in the fifth, immediately after Hideki
Matsui was pulled with an injury. By game's end the Yankees had rapped out 14 hits and
totaled 11 runs, with every starter but Gerald Laird producing a hit, to take the 2-1
series lead.
