MLB: N.Y. Yankees 6, Chi. W.Sox 0 (6 inn)

CHICAGO, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Mark Teixeira had two home runs and three RBI Tuesday to lead the New York Yankees to a 6-0 win over the Chicago White Sox in a rain-shortened game.

Teixeira and Andruw Jones had solo home runs in the top of the seventh, which turned out to be the final at-bats of the game -- which was called after a lengthy rain delay at the seventh-inning stretch.

The switch-hitting Teixeira homered from both sides of the plate. It was the 12th time in his career he accomplished that feat.

Phil Hughes (2-3) had plenty of offense en route to the shutout victory. Hughes allowed three hits and struck out four in six innings.

John Danks (4-9) allowed four runs on nine hits over six innings in the loss.

Chicago lost its fourth consecutive game. The Yanks have won five straight and eight of their last 10.
