Mark Teixeira has tried just about everything to get rid of a nagging cough that has bothered him for the past month. The timely home run he hit Monday night did nothing to change his health, but it just might turn out to be the cure for his season-long slump. Teixeira hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the seventh inning, Curtis Granderson also connected and the New York Yankees got three hits from Alex Rodriguez in an 8-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
