Yankee Stadium was the site for American League action featuring the New York (A) Yankees and Texas Rangers.

The Texas Rangers cut down the New York (A) Yankees by the score of 11-4, with the largest share of the credit going to center fielder Lance Blankenship. Blankenship was 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for the Rangers. Texas pitcher Hector Noesi got the win. He's now 1-0. Kevin Ritz was tagged with the loss.

Luis Castillo was 1-5 with a walk for Texas. The former first round draft pick had a key at-bat in the top of the second. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Kevin Ritz. It was his 2nd RBI of the season.

In comments to the Texas News, Castillo insisted that he's not as disinterested as it often appears. "Haters will hate," he added.

The loss makes New York (A) 4-3.
