NEW YORK, July 22 (UPI) -- Homers by Mark Teixeira and Nick Swisher accounted for seven runs during a nine-run third Friday, sending the New York Yankees soaring past Oakland 17-7.
The Yankees already had a 5-2 lead before they sent 13 men to the plate in their most productive inning of the season.
Teixeira walked to open the third, Robinson Cano doubled Teixeira to third and Swisher then hit a three-run homer. New York had the bases loaded when Teixeira came to the plate for the second time in the inning and he hit a 0-1 pitch from Trevor Cahill out to right for a grand slam.
The Yankees piled up 17 hits and Swisher produced his fourth and fifth RBI of the game with a seventh-inning single.
Cahill (8-9) was charged with 10 runs on nine hits in two-plus innings.
New York starter Phil Hughes could not stick around long enough to get the win, even though he was staked to a 14-2 lead.
Hughes allowed seven runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings and was replaced by eventual winner Hector Noesi.
Noesi (1-0), making the 13th relief appearance of his rookie season, picked up his first major league victory by throwing 3 2/3 scoreless innings.
