The Yankees crushed the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for the second day in a row with a tremendous offensive output. The Bombers used home runs from Matsui, A-Rod, Cano, Abreu and two from newcomer Shelley Duncan to beat Tampa Bay 21-4.

Andy Pettitte struggled somewhat through about six innings and the bullpen wrapped it up. With the win the Yankees are 9-3 since the All-Star Break and remain 7 1/2 games behind the Bosox in the AL East.

Matsui had a five hit day and Cano is now over .290 after starting the season slowly. The Yankees head on the road for four games with Kansas City starting tonight and then four in Baltimore including the conclusion of a suspended game.
