The New York Yankees fall behind early and then blast the Texas Rangers

The New York Yankees defeated the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night.  The game took place at Globe Life Park and the final score was 21-5.  Chris Capuano started the game and couldn't even get through one inning, the bullpen was great.  The offense was on fire as everyone was hitting. 

Capuano pitched 2/3 of an inning giving up three hits and five runs.  He walked five batters and didn't strike out anyone.  Diego Moreno picked up his first win of the season pitching 5 1/3 innings giving up no hits and no runs with a walk and five strikeouts, Adam Warren picked up his first save pitching a perfect three innings.

The Yankees were down 5-0 after the first inning.  They scored 11 runs in the second and four in the third to take a 15-5 lead.  They added one in the fourth and three in the sixth and then two more in the ninth to make it 21-5.  It was the most runs scored by any team in a few years.  It was the largest unanswered comeback since 1939.  This was a crazy game and hard to imagine the Yankees were down 5-0 and their starter was knocked out in the first inning.  The two teams will play game three of four on Wednesday night.
