He scattered 6 hits, walked 0, and struck out 4. His record improves to 11-9. Jose Mesa, credited with the save, is now 2 for 4 in save opportunities.

A decisive at-bat came in the top of the fifth inning. With a runner on 3rd, the batter, Gerald Young, grounded out, driving in 1 run. It made the score 2-1, Texas, and helped them go on to win.

"The want-to is there for our guys," said New York manager Patrick McQuail. "We'll get this thing turned around."
