Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Michael Young opened the scoring with a solo home run in the first inning and capped it with an RBI single in the sixth, as the Texas Rangers edged the New York Yankees, 7-5.
Young finished 4-for-4 for the Rangers, who dropped the opener of this three- game series, 4-1, on Friday. Texas won for just the third time in its last 10 games.
Julio Borbon drove in three Texas runs, while Mitch Moreland collected three hits and scored twice.
Rangers starter Derek Holland gave up four runs on four hits and walked five in three-plus innings. Brett Tomko followed Holland and yielded one hit -- a solo home run by Nick Swisher -- over 2 1/3 frames. Arthur Rhodes (1-1) recorded the final two outs in the sixth to earn the win.
Robinson Cano hit a three-run triple for New York, which has lost four of five.
"We're not getting a whole lot of hits on this trip," said New York manager Joe Girardi. "We had five runs tonight and most nights that's going to be enough to win, but tonight it wasn't."
Despite the loss, Derek Jeter set a major league record for the most games played at shortstop for one team on Saturday. Jeter played in his 2,303rd game at shortstop, passing Baltimore's Cal Ripken.
Bartolo Colon was tagged for five runs on nine hits in a 4 1/3-inning start for the Yankees. Boone Logan (1-2) surrendered two runs in one inning of relief to absorb the loss.
Young homered with two gone in the first inning, then David Murphy went deep to begin a four-run second by the Rangers.
Moreland hit a one-out single and Chris Davis walked before both runners scored on a triple by Borbon. Ian Kinsler followed with a sacrifice fly for a 5-0 Texas lead.
The Yankees countered with four runs in their next at-bat. All the damage occurred after Russell Martin grounded into a double play.
Jeter doubled, Curtis Granderson walked and Mark Teixeira singled home a run. After Alex Rodriguez walked to load the bases, Cano trimmed the deficit to one run by sending Holland's next pitch to the gap in left-center for a triple.
New York tied the game on Swisher's lead off home run in the sixth, but the Rangers quickly regained the lead in the bottom of the inning.
With men on the corners, Borbon dropped a squeeze bunt to score Moreland, who led off with a double and advanced to third on a Davis single, with the go- ahead run. Young delivered a two-out RBI single later in the frame to put Texas up 7-5.
Darren Oliver replaced Rhodes and tossed two scoreless innings before a returning Neftali Feliz pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his sixth save of the season. Feliz was reinstated from the 15-day disabled list Friday. He hadn't pitched since April 20 because of right shoulder inflammation.
