Teixeira helps Yankees win testy one over Tigers

By AP

NEW YORK – Mark Teixeira homered and Dustin Moseley pitched well enough to overcome the two home runs he gave up to Miguel Cabrera in the New York Yankees' testy 9-5 win over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night.

Detroit's Jeremy Bonderman hit Brett Gardner in the leg with his first pitch and one out later, Teixeira made it 2-0.

With the Yankees leading 9-4, reliever Chad Gaudin hit Cabrera, his first batter, in the back to start the eighth. Tigers manager Jim Leyland came out to argue when Gaudin wasn't ejected or warned.

After the half-inning, Leyland came out again and was immediately ejected.
