07/17/2010 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Reid Brignac notched his first career multi-homer game, blasting two and driving in a career-high five in the Rays' 10-5 win over the Yankees in the second of three games.
Brignac had just three career home runs in 101 contests before Saturday's outburst. Carlos Pena added a homer among a season-high four hits and drove in three, while Evan Longoria went 2-for-4 and scored three times, as Tampa Bay spoiled the 64th annual Old-Timers' Day at Yankee Stadium.
Jeff Niemann (8-2) was the beneficiary of the run support after allowing four runs, six hits and four walks while fanning six in 6 1/3 frames. He moved to 5-0 in nine road starts this season, as the Rays won for the ninth time in 11 games.
Mark Teixeira and Jorge Posada both homered, while Brett Gardner hit a two-run single for the Yankees, who had won nine of their previous 10.
A.J. Burnett (7-8) lasted just two-plus innings before leaving with lacerations on his throwing hand, and gave up four runs and four hits in defeat.
The Rays got to Burnett in the opening inning, as Longoria singled with two away and scored on Pena's double to right.
Tampa Bay mimicked that method of scoring in the second. After the first two batters were retired, Jason Bartlett kept the inning alive when he was hit by a pitch. Brignac subsequently launched a 1-0 pitch into the right-field seats for a 3-0 lead.
The Yankees answered with two runs in the home half. Robinson Cano led off with a double, and one-out walks to Curtis Granderson and Francisco Cervelli preceded Gardner's two-run single, which made it a one-run contest.
Burnett, though, didn't escape the third, when he hit Longoria with a pitch before uncorking a wild pitch and allowing Pena to smack an RBI single. The Yankees' starter was pulled with an injury, and Dustin Moseley was able to escape without further damage.
Moseley was not able to get through the fifth unscathed, however, as Tampa Bay tacked on four more runs.
Matt Joyce drew a leadoff walk, and John Jaso followed with a single, placing runners on the corners. B.J. Upton's sacrifice fly extended the lead to 5-2, and Bartlett singled Jaso to second. Brignac, again with a 1-0 count, launched another offering into the right-field seats for a six-run margin.
Teixeira's solo blast in the fifth pulled New York to within 8-3, but Jaso restored the six-run lead for Tampa Bay with a sacrifice fly in the sixth.
Posada added a homer for the Yanks in the home sixth, and Pena's leadoff blast in the eighth gave the visitors a 10-4 advantage.
Alex Rodriguez's RBI double in the ninth accounted for the final margin.
Game Notes
The Rays improved their MLB-best road record to 29-15...Tampa Bay leads the season series, 4-3...Moseley finished with three innings pitched, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks...Burnett fell to 12-6 lifetime against the Rays...Pena notched at least four hits for the fifth time in his career. He accomplished the feat for the first time since May 8, 2007...Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter went just 1-for-5 and is batting 7-for-41 (.171) since July 3.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
