"The weather may not be heating up for the Yankees, but Mark Teixeira is.

Teixeira gave the Yankees all the offense they needed Monday, belting a two-run home run in the first inning off Trevor Cahill to spark the Bombers' 5-0 win. It was Teixeira's 16th home run of the season, his fourth in the past five games and seventh in the past 11.

"I've said it before, home runs come in bunches," Teixeira said. "Right now I'm just kind of in one of those streaks where I'm hitting the ball out of the park a lot. Hopefully, it keeps up. I feel pretty good up there."

Teixeira's home run pushed his hitting streak to seven games. He's hitting .310 (9-for-29) during the stretch."
