Rodriguez Hits 2 home runs in Yankees Win
No one was more impactful than Alex Rodriguez in the 8-7 New York win over Baltimore. Rodriguez, who is tied for 10th in the AL with a .620 slugging percentage, hit 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. New York reliever Troy Percival was the winner. His record is now 2-0. The losing pitcher was Gregg Olson. The Orioles, now 2-10, continue their slow start.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Albert Pujols came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Baltimore pitcher Gregg Olson, he hit a 1-2 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting New York on top, 8-7.

"It never gets old," said Pujols. "Winning, that is."
