Wonder if Melky Cabrera is getting sick of putting on that Superman outfit every other day?

For what seems like the 50th time this season, the Melk Man was able to lift the Yanks with his bat, this time hitting a two run homer to give the Yanks a 8-6 victory over the Rangers.

Chien Ming Wang threw two good innings, followed by three horrific innings which he allowed five runs in 4 2/3 innings. Wang struck out five and gave up seven hits and surrendered one walk.

If you need further proof that Yankee Stadium is the East Coast version of Coors Field, Johnny Damon homered for the eleventh time this season, tying his career high before the all star break.

Batting Line of the Night: While Melky delivered the game winning RBIs, it was his only hit of the night. Mark Teixeira, however, gets the award for last night's three RBIs.

Pitching Line of the Night: David Robertson threw only one pitch, and got the win. Tough night for the kid.
