Yankees 5 Tampa Bay 3: The ball certainly carries in the Bronx. The new ballpark saw five dingers on Monday, four of them by the Yankees as they finished their homestand with a 4-2 record. Mark Teixeira got things started and Nick Swisher added a two-run shot to put New York up 3-0. But, Andy Pettitte had a rough fourth, allowing three runs, before settling down to pitch well in the fifth and sixth. Johnny Damon and Derek Jeter added solo shots for the final two runs of the game and Mariano Rivera recorded his 14th save. New York now heads to Boston for three games with the second-place Red Sox, a team they have not defeated this season.
