A grand slam by Oscar Gamble triggered the Yankees to a 7-4 triumph over the Rangers. Gamble's blast came in the fourth inning with the Yanks trailing, 4-2, and was set up by a single by Brad Gulden, a hit batsman and a single by Willie Randolph. It was the second career bases-loaded round-tripper for Gamble, who is hitting .500 since being traded by Texas to New York.
