BALTIMORE -- Even without Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez in the lineup, the New York Yankees still pack a wallop. Curtis Granderson hit two of New Yorks five home runs, rookie Ivan Nova won his 10th straight decision, and the Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-3 Sunday night for a split of a day-night doubleheader. Granderson hit a three-run drive in the third inning and a solo shot in the seventh to pass Torontos Jose Bautista for the major league lead in homers (38). He also took the major league lead in RBIs (107). "Its incredible what hes done this year," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Theres a lot of talk about MVP, and that will all be settled later. Hes been unbelievable for us." In the first game, rookie Zach Britton allowed four hits over seven innings to lead the Orioles to a 2-0 victory. It was Jeters 2,402nd game with New York, breaking a tie with Mickey Mantle for most in a Yankees uniform. But Jeter fouled a ball off his right knee in the third inning, and although he shook off the pain to finish the game, the Yankees captain was a late scratch in the nightcap with a bruised knee. "We iced it between games and afterward, and it swelled up and became a challenge," Jeter said after the second game. X-rays were negative, but Girardi expressed doubt about Jeters availability Monday night for the finale of the four-game series. Rodriguez also watched Game 2 from the dugout with a sore left thumb. "We just felt it wasnt in our best interest in playing him, either," Girardi said. The second game was tied at 3 before New York hit three straight homers in a four-run sixth. After Robinson Cano connected with a man on, Nick Swisher and Andruw Jones also went deep. It was the first time the Yankees hit three successive homers since May 20, 2009, against Baltimore. Despite the power surge, Girardi hates the idea of being without Jeter and Rodriguez. "We need to get them healthy," he said. "It is somewhat of a concern." Nova (14-4) gave up three runs and seven hits in seven-plus innings, striking out seven and walking two. The right-hander has won seven straight starts and is 10-0 in 11 outings since June 3. Brian Matusz (1-7) allowed six runs and six hits -- including three home runs -- in 5 1-3 innings. Adam Jones had two RBIs for the Orioles, whose six-game winning streak ended. Baltimore led 2-0 before Granderson hit his first homer. He has 11 career two-homer games, including four this season. Granderson still doesnt consider himself to be a slugger. "Its one of those freak things," he said. "I was thinking about the home run guys, those that can do it, they hit mammoth shots. Mine, as long as they get over the fence, thats great." In the first game, Britton allowed four singles, struck out five and walked one before being pulled after throwing a career-high 120 pitches. It was a vivid contrast from his previous start against the Yankees, when he yielded nine runs and got only one out in a 17-3 loss July 30. "I wasnt thinking about getting revenge or anything," Britton said. "You have to have a short memory." Britton (8-9) has given up only one run over 12 innings since coming off the disabled list (strained left shoulder) on Aug. 22. Before going on the DL, he surrendered 23 runs in three starts. "Not only was it like a break for me physically, but mentally, too," Britton said of his time off. The game was scoreless until the seventh, when Nick Markakis doubled and Vladimir Guerrero singled. Baltimore added a run in the eighth when Mark Reynolds led off with his third hit and scored on a two-out single by J.J. Hardy. Jim Johnson pitched a perfect eighth and Kevin Gregg worked the ninth for his 19th save, getting Rodriguez to hit into a double play after giving up a one-out single to Mark Teixeira, who had three hits. Cano went 0 for 3, ending his 17-game hitting streak. He had also hit in 18 consecutive games at Camden Yards. The Yankees failed to get a runner past first base in their first shutout loss since June 13. Bartolo Colon (8-9) gave up two runs and seven hits in 7 2-3 innings. He had a two-hitter through six innings before faltering. He has lost his last three starts and is 2-6 in his last eight decisions. But he considered this effort to be a breakthrough. "I feel very happy. Thank God that everything is back together," he said through a translator. "Well see how far were going to go."

Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Hanley Ramirez hit a grand slam and a solo homer as part of Floridas 9-5 win over the Texas Rangers. Ramirezs slam came as part of a five-run first inning when the Marlins knocked out starting pitcher Derek Holland, on the way to a third win in four games. The Marlins lost the series opener, 15-5, Friday night, but they got the big early start on Saturday and snapped a five-game skid against the Rangers. Brad Hand, who was recalled from Double-A Jacksonville before the game, lasted just 3 1/3 innings in the start for the Marlins. He allowed four hits and a pair of runs. Steve Cishek (1-1) threw 2 2/3 relief innings to get his first major league win. It feels good. Actually, I didnt even realize it until the players were coming in and Gaby [Sanchez] gave me the ball, said Cishek about the win. Josh Hamilton belted a pair of homers and Ian Kinsler also went deep for the Rangers, who couldnt overcome Hollands (6-4) horrendous start, the shortest of his career. He was lifted with two outs in the opening inning after throwing just 46 pitches. The top of the first inning lasted 28 minutes. Today was just not his day, Rangers manager Ron Washington said. As a ball player, some days you go through that. Its just bad for the team that we had to go to the bullpen so early. Tommy Hunter received plenty of cheers in his season debut. The right-hander, who was activated from the 15-day disabled list Friday, limited the Marlins to one earned run over the next 4 2/3 innings. Hunter was pitching on the eve of his 25th birthday. He strained his right groin March 24 during a spring training contest. Emilio Bonifacio walked, and Omar Infante and Gaby Sancheez followed with base hit to set the stage for Ramirez, who went the opposite way for his sixth homer of the year.dddddddddddd The shot to right came on a 3-2 pitch. Wes Helms doubled in John Buck later in the inning, and that was all for Holland. Sanchez hit a sacrifice fly in the second before the Rangers got on the board in the third thanks to homers from Kinsler and Hamilton. Hamilton homered to left with Elvis Andrus on base in the fifth to get the Rangers within 6-4, but the Marlins widened the gap in the sixth on Infantes sacrifice fly. Ramirez dropped a pop-up off the bat of Kinsler in the bottom half of the frame, leading to a run and a 7-5 margin, but Ramirez and Logan Morrison hit back-to-back homers off Darren ODay to start the seventh. ODay, who was on the 60-day disabled list due to a partial tear of the labrum in his left hip, was activated on Saturday. GAME NOTES:The Marlins placed right-handed reliever Ryan Webb on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 27, with right shoulder inflammation. They also designated infielder Jose Lopez for assignment and recalled outfielder Bryan Petersen from Triple-A New Orleans...To make room for ODay, Texas optioned pitcher Michael Kirkman to Triple-A Round Rock...Hamilton hit multiple home runs in a game for the fourth time in his career and first since September 1, 2009 vs. Toronto (Game 2)...Andrus reached 25 stolen bases for a third straight season, joining Bump Wills (4 straight, 1977-80) and Dave Nelson (3, 1972-74) as the only Rangers to ever have three straight seasons of 25-plus steals...Kinsler homered for the fourth time in his last five games...This was the fifth career grand slam for Ramirez.
