    Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Russell Martin and Mark Teixeira stepped up to the plate, sent the ball over the wall and circled the bases like a conga line in a nine-run second inning.

    With record-tying power backing a superb start by CC Sabathia, the New York Yankees have first place all to themselves with two games to go and hope they'll have a real party before this series against the Boston Red Sox is over.
    "There's a lot of teams that would love to be in our position right now," Teixeira said after the Yankees routed the Red Sox 10-2 on Monday night to open a one-game lead over Baltimore in the AL East. "You can count all of the things that have gone wrong but, hey, we're right here where we want to be. And if we keep winning, we'll be division champions and have a chance to make a run in the playoffs."
