Rangers Squeeze Past Yankees 7-5 After Borbon Bunt

ARLINGTON (AP) –  Julio Borbon drove in three runs, including the go-ahead run with a squeeze bunt, and the Texas Rangers beat the New York Yankees 7-5 on Saturday night after blowing an early five-run lead.

With Mitch Moreland running toward home on a 1-1 pitch in the sixth, Borbon laid down the bunt and almost beat the throw to first. That broke a 5-all tie before Michael Young had an RBI single, his fourth hit, later in the inning.

Young homered and Borbon had a two-run triple as the Rangers built a 5-0 lead after two innings off Bartolo Colon.

Arthur Rhodes (1-1), the third of five Texas pitchers, struck out the only two batters he faced. Neftali Feliz worked the ninth for his sixth save in as many chances.
