Although only two home runs were hit, the New York Yankees unleashed a fury of offense (21 runs) on the Texas Rangers Tuesday night.
The only proper thing to do if your a ball club who’s spot-starting Chris Capuano on a mundane Tuesday night is to come through offensively.
That’s exactly what the New York Yankees did, amazingly to the tune of 21 runs.

The final score of 21-5 was secondary to the phenomenal display of hitting the world saw tonight from the Bronx Bombers.
Shortstop Didi Gregorius went 4-5 with three runs batted in and two runs scored. Brett Gardner went 3-4 with a home run; Chase Headley, Alex Rodriguez, John Ryan Murphy and Brendan Ryan all collected two hits a piece; and Chris Young went 3-6 with five runs batted in including a grand slam in the third inning.

New York had already plated 11 runs after the top of the second inning.
So, uh … 15 batters, 11 runs, 10 hits. pic.twitter.com/gWGM2sRlqp

The win came despite Capuano managing to only survive through two outs of the first inning before receiving the quick hook (5 ER).
Game 3 of the series will go down on Wednesday after the Yanks taking the first two.
