  • Yankees cap 3-game sweep of White Sox (AP)

    New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano(notes), top, throws out Chicago White Sox's Scott Posednik (22) after White Sox's  Gordon Beckham(notes) grounded into a sixth-inning double play in the Yankees' 8-3 victory in their baseball game at Yankee Stadium, Sunday, Aug. 30, 2009, in New York.

    Mark Teixeira homered and drove in four runs, Johnny Damon also went deep and the New York Yankees polished off a three-game sweep of the struggling Chicago White Sox with an 8-3 victory Sunday. Alfredo Aceves (9-1) provided stellar relief pitching after Joba Chamberlain's abbreviated outing, and the streaking Yankees won for the 20th time in 26 games.
