NEW YORK - The Detroit Tigers beat up New York pitching for the second time in three days, and left town with a series win over the Yankees for the first time in eight years.

Carlos Guillen had three hits, including a three-run homer, and the Tigers pounded rookie Brad Halsey in a 10-8 victory Wednesday.

Detroit built a 10-3 lead by the sixth inning and took two of three from the Yankees. Halsey (1-2) gave up seven runs - five earned - and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings, an outing that put even more pressure on the Yankees to trade for a veteran starting pitcher. Craig Monroe hit a rare homer for the Tigers, who won after Ivan Rodriguez and manager Alan Trammell were ejected in the first inning for arguing.

CLEVELAND - Gary Matthews Jr. and Mark Teixeira each hit two-run homers in the seventh inning as Texas rallied against Cleveland's faulty bullpen.
