Tex flying high in Texas

Mark Teixeira just smashed an inside fastball for a home run, putting the Yankees up 2-0 over the Texas Rangers three batters into the game.

Tex has had a slow start this year, but with Alex Rodriguez back in the lineup, he's gotten a boost (both from having protection in the lineup, and perhaps from not being the highest-paid underperformer in the Bronx).

Our favorite Sesame Street character's 15 home runs puts him second in American League homers. Tex leads the Yankees in both home runs and RBIs (37), and his batting average has rocketed up to .275, almost double his April average.
