Posada, Rodriguez help Yankees blast past Angels

<h3>NY YANKEES 14, LA ANGELS 9</h3>BRONX, New York (Ticker) -- Alex Rodriguez's hamstring isfeeling better. It appears his bat also is doing just fine.

Rodriguez's return to the lineup was a successful one as hecollected three hits, including a two-run homer in the bottom ofthe sixth inning as the New York Yankees recorded a wild 14-9victory over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Friday night.

Rodriguez was back in his customary cleanup spot in the battingorder after missing his first game of the season Thursday with astrained left hamstring. He suffered the injury Monday, whenhe collided with Minnesota first baseman Justin Morneau and thentried to play through it but had a pair of 0-for-4 outings atthe plate.

On Thursday, he underwent an MRI, which showed no damage. Afterbeing examined, he watched from the dugout as the Yankeescollected 13 hits in a 7-6 victory that was punctuated by HidekiMatsui's two-run blast in the eighth.

Rodriguez returned Friday and quickly snapped a season-worst0-for-19 skid with a leadoff double in the second as the Yankeesopened a 2-0 lead. After the Angels moved ahead by a run, theAll-Star singled and scored on Jorge Posada's two-run double asNew York took an 8-3 advantage.

On many nights, that would have been enough for Andy Pettitte,who was coming off an awful start against Oakland on Sunday.But the Angels knocked out the lefthander in the sixth, whenChone Figgins capped a four-run rally with a two-run single,forging a 9-9 tie.

That set the stage for Rodriguez, who had not homered since June23 at San Francisco. With a run already in, Rodriguez launchedan 0-1 pitch from Chris Bootcheck into the left field seats inthe sixth, giving the Yankees a 12-9 bulge.

It was Rodriguez's major league-leading 29th home run and 493rdcareer, tying him with Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig and Fred McGrifffor 22nd place on the all-time list.

While Rodriguez delivered the biggest hit of the night, theYankees received contributions from everyone in their lineup asthey finished with a season-high 19 hits. Melky Cabrera, Posadaand Robinson Cano collected three hits apiece, going a combined9-for-14.

After Pettitte allowed eight runs and and 10 hits in five-plusinnings, rookie Edwar Ramirez (1-0) worked 1 1/3 frames for hisfirst career victory. Unlike his debut on Tuesday, when hestruck out the side in his only inning of work, it was not aneasy outing for the 26-year-old righthander, who opened theseventh by allowing a double by Orlando Cabrera and plunkingRobb Quinlan.

Scott Proctor replaced Ramirez and threw a wild pitch thatadvanced the runners. But he escaped unscathed by striking outGary Matthews Jr. on a check swing and fanning Garret Andersonon a 71 mile-per-hour curveball.

New York added a pair of insurance runs in the eighth as MelkyCabrera and Derek Jeter produced RBI singles.

While Pettitte turned in another shaky outing, Angels starterBartolo Colon was worse. The portly righthander, who is winlessin his last eight starts, was roughed up for seven runs andseven hits in just two-plus innings.
