Martin, Posada homer as Yankees bash Brewers

"With talk of realignment in the air, maybe the Yankees should petition to move to the National League.

The Yankees continued their dominance against the Senior Circuit in last night's 5-2 victory over the Brewers in front of 46,450 fans at Yankee Stadium.

The win was the Yankees second straight against the Brewers, and moved the Yankees to 10-4 in interleague play this season, the second best mark in baseball behind the Angels. The win also clinched their 12th straight season of a winning record versus the NL. The Bombers own a 154-106 record all-time in interleague games, the best mark in baseball.

"We've just been in a streak where we've played really good baseball," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said, explaining their play against the NL. "That's the best answer I can give you."

A.J. Burnett had another strong outing, improving to 8-6 by allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts in seven innings. Russell Martin and Jorge Posada both hit home runs to lead the offense. Mariano Rivera worked a flawless ninth for his 21st save of the season.

The bottom of the order did the work for the Yankees last night while their 1-5 hitters went 2-for-18 with six strikeouts. Alex Rodriguez had three of the punchouts himself, going 0-for-4. The Yankees had four straight hits in a four-run fourth inning, and just two the rest of the night."
