Yankees injury woes happened again this time to Mark Teixeira who left the game with an apparent wrist injury. Teixeira wasn’t doing well at the plate on Monday going 0 for 3 with three strikeouts but the Yankees could be in big trouble if he is out for an extended period of time.

Eric Chavez had a big game going 2 for 3 with two RBIs, and hit his ninth homerun of the season a solo shot in the seventh inning.

Ichiro was able to hit his 1^st homerun in pinstripes going back to back with Chavez for his 100^th of his career and fifth of the season in the seventh inning . Suzuki was also able to steal his 18^th base of the season after reaching on a fielders choice.

Left fielder Raul Ibanez also was able to hit a homerun for his 14^th of the season in the 5^th inning, as Ibanez hit well going 2 for 4.

Yankees will look to snap there losing streak and hopefully have Teixeira in the lineup on Tuesday as Ivan Nova (10-4, 4.08) will face Chris Tillman (3-1, 1.66).
