LeMahieu season-high 3 RBIs for Yankees in 7-4 win at Texas

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — DJ LeMahieu had a season-high three RBIs, including the tiebreaking, two-run double in New York's big inning, and the Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 7-4 on Tuesday night.

LeMahieu went the opposite way for his double down the right-field line to cap a five-run fourth that put the Yankees up 5-3. That was the first multi-RBI hit this season for LeMahieu, who added a sacrifice fly to deep center in the sixth.

Rougned Odor went 2 for 5 with two strikeouts against his former team in his return to the Yankees lineup after missing 12 games because of a sprained left knee. Odor, who played his first seven big league seasons for the Rangers, was designated for assignment at the end of spring training and then traded to New York.

Nick Solak, now the Rangers second baseman, had a solo homer after an earlier RBI single for the first Texas run.

Wandy Peralta (3-1) worked a scoreless inning. He took over for Yankees starter Jameson Taillon after Solak's eighth homer of the season with two outs in the fifth got Texas within 5-4.

Aroldis Chapman worked the ninth for his 10th save in as many chances, the best season-opening stretch in the big left-hander's 12 big league season. He struck out the side and has 34 strikeouts while allowing only one unearned run in his 16 appearances.

Rangers starter Mike Foltynewicz (1-4) allowed five hits and a walk in a seven-batter stretch in the fourth, and the bases were loaded when LeMahieu greeted reliever Kolby Allard with the two-run double. Gio Urshela and Gary Sánchez both had RBI doubles in the frame before Miguel Andújar's run-scoring single tied the game 3-3.
