the Yankees busted out the lumber in epic fashion today

At one point the Yankees were down 7-1 to Oakland.  Then they busted out the bats.  They became the first team in history to hit 3 grand slams in a game.  Robinson Cano, Russell Martin, and Curtis Granderson all connected.  The Yankees beat up the Oakland bullpen to the tune of 16 runs in 3.2 innings.  They routed the Athletics 22-9.

Russell Martin had 6 RBIs.   Granderson  had 5 to push him over 100.  He's got 103 and could be the favorite for the AL MVP at this point.

Also, as a note since there were whispers that Derek Jeter was about washed up around May or June when he was hitting under .270.  Jeter was 3-6 with an RBI and has his batting average at .299.  Ever since he came off the  DL a few games before reaching the 3000 hit landmark he's been on a tear.
