Robinson Cano hit a grand slam Monday to power the New York Yankees to an 8-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Ramiro Pena hit a solo homer and singled in another run in the Yankees sixth straight win. Chad Gaudin (2-0) gave up two runs on four hits and a pair of walks in 6 2/3 innings for the Yankees,

A bases-loaded two-run single by Jorge Posada with nobody out in the ninth Friday lifted the New York Yankees to a wild 10-9 win over the Los Angeles Angels. New York owned a 4-0 lead from the first through the fifth innings, and then gave up nine runs over two frames to fall into a five-run hole. The Yankees, however, closed within one with a four-run eighth inning that featured a two-run single by Ramiro Pena, and then won it by getting to reliever Brian Fuentes in the ninth. New York has captured four in a row, its longest winning streak of the season. Fuentes (0-2) walked Mark Teixeira to open the ninth and Hideki Matsui singled Teixeira to second.

Ramiro Pena capped off a three-run eighth inning with a two-run double Thursday, lifting the New York Yankees past the Los Angeles Angels 7-4. The Yankees broke a 4-4 tie with their key inning and won their third straight, a streak that has come on the heels of four consecutive losses. Justin Speier (0-1) came on to start the eighth for the Angels and retired leadoff hitter Hideki Matsui.
