On this day in Yankee history...
1915: The Yankees pound
the Red Sox 10-3, scoring all of their runs in the 4th inning. Sixteen
Yanks come to the plate in the frame. The only extra base hit, however,
is Wally Pipp's triple.

1927: A record 52,000 fans come out to Comiskey Park, but Waite Hoyt spoils the party for the home team by winning one of his league-leading 22 games 9-0 ~ it is the second straight day that the White Sox have been shut out. Hoyt's batterymate Pat Collins homers in the 7th, while Lou Gehrig adds a pair of triples.

1964: In Cleveland, there are tornado warnings, but New York supply the damage when Mickey Mantle launches a three-run homer off Tommy John in the 4th inning to lead the Yanks to a 10-3 win.

1991: Gambler Howard Spira is found guilty of trying to extort money from George Steinbrenner. Spira had already received $40,000 from the Yankee owner.
1994: Danny Tartabull, Mike Stanley and Gerald William hit back-to-back-to-back home runs for the Yankees in the 6th inning of New York's 8-4 win over the Red Sox.

2010: Snapping out of what is for him a typical cold start to the season, Mark Teixeira hits three homers and drives in 5 runs to lead New York to a 14-3 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park; he is the second player in Yankee history to hit three long balls in a game against Boston, after Lou Gehrig. Francisco Cervelli, starting because of an injury to Jorge Posada, also drives in 5 runs. Teixeira's last dinger is hit against outfielder Jonathan Van Every, making the second pitching appearance of his career. The game is interrupted for 1:15 by a rain delay in the 5th inning, forcing starter CC Sabathia out early and giving Alfredo Aceves the win.
2013: The injury-riddled Yankees struggle to put together a line-up, today batting pitcher David Phelps 8th and playing outfielder Vernon Wells at third base for an inning in his first career appearance at the position, but they manage to keep on winning. Wells hits a two-run homer in the 1st, then in the 9th Joe Girardi uses a pinch-hitter for 3B Chris Nelson in scoring the deciding run in a 3-2 win over the Rockies. Out of back-up infielders, he puts Wells at the hot corner for the bottom of the 9th. Wells successfully fields a ground ball as Mariano Rivera records his 12th save of the year ~ and the first of his career at Coors Field.
