Yankees 4, Indians 3: Mark Teixeira homered for the second night in a row to back six scoreless innings from David Phelps as host New York made it two straight wins over Cleveland.

Teixeira's three-run blast capped a four-run third inning to make a winner of Phelps (4-3), who allowed only an infield single to bounce back from a dreadful start last time out in which he lasted only one-third of an inning.

Drew Stubbs went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer off reliever Joba Chamberlain in the seventh to pull the Indians within a run, but David Robertson worked a scoreless eighth before Mariano Rivera pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for 21st save in 22 chances.

The Yankees opened the third inning with five straight hits off Indians left-hander Scott Kazmir (3-3), including an RBI single from Ichiro Suzuki to break the scoreless deadlock. Teixeira, who swatted a grand slam in Monday's win, clubbed a three-run shot for a 4-0 lead.

Cleveland rallied in the seventh when Stubbs lashed a three-run homer to right-center for his fourth blast, ending a 17-game drought. Kazmir was charged with four runs on seven hits in six innings.
