EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger vaulted back over the Mendoza Line with his banner night, which was highlighted by his 390-foot shot to right center that plated Rob Refsnyder, Gary Sanchez and Starlin Castro in the fourth and extended the Yankees' lead to 7-2 at the time. The pair of hits Friday were Teixeira's first of September after starting off the month with an 0-for-8 stretch over the first three games in which he registered an at-bat.
