Mark DeRosa's double gave Texas four players with 40 or more two-base hits, joining Michael Young, Gary Matthews, and Mark Teixeira. They are just the third team in major league history ('29 Tigers, '32 Phillies) to do so.

Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi left in the fifth with soreness in his left wrist. Before the game, he talked about possibly getting a third cortisone shot.

The Mets' lineup did not include anyone who started Monday night's clincher, and had six players hitting under .210. Julio Franco made his first start at third base since 1982.

A.J. Pierzynski's grand slam was the White Sox's 10th this season, extending the club record.
