Yankees win 4-2

With their 4-2 victory this afternoon against the Minnesota Twins, the Yankees have now won eight straight. Too bad it's March 20.

Mark Teixeira hit his first home run of the spring in the sixth inning off Joe Nathan. Todd Linden and Austin Jackson also added home runs.

Phil Hughes pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing three hits and one earned run. He also walked one and struck out none.

The Yankees, behind Joba Chamberlain, will take on the Tigers tomorrow afternoon at 1:15 p.m. in Tampa.
