A grand evening for Mark Teixeira fuels the Yankees on Monday

by Chris Zolli | Tue, Jun 2nd 9:55am EDT

Mark Teixeira was only 1-for-3 on Monday night against Felix Hernandez and the Mariners, but his one hit was a big one. His 15th home run of the season was a grand slam off of the Mariners' ace and helped the Yankees to a 7-2 victory.

Fantasy Impact:

His 15 home runs are good for second in the American League and his 39 RBI are third in baseball and first in the American League. Teixeira has a .273 batting average and eight RBI over the past seven days after posting a .889 OPS in May. Teixeira has never faced Seattle's starter on Tuesday, Mike Montgomery, but has a .926 OPS against left handed pitchers this season.
