Yankees hit record 3 grand slams; Jim Thome returns to Indians The New York Yankees became the first team in major league history to hit three grand slams in a game, with Robinson Cano, Russell Martin and Curtis Granderson connecting Thursday in a wet, wild 22-9 victory over the Oakland Athletics. Remember, they don't call them Bronx Bombers for nothing. In fact, the Bronx Bombers had never put on a show quite like this. On a dreary afternoon, some fans headed home with the Yankees trailing 7-1 after three innings and rain still falling in a game that began after an 89-minute delay. . Robinson Cano began it all with his grand slam in the fifth, into the lower deck in right field off starter Rich Harden that made it 7-6. Russell Martin connected in the sixth off Fautino De Los Santos, a fly that barely made it over the scoreboard in right for a 10-7 lead. And finally, Curtis Granderson took his turn in the eighth, launching a no-doubter into New York's right-center field bullpen with two outs off Bruce Billings. Martin homered twice and doubled, setting career highs with five hits and six RBIs. Cano and Granderson each drove in five runs as the Yankees pulled off their biggest comeback win and avoided a three-game sweep.

4-12-2009 White Sox vs. Twins Mark Buehrle pitched dominantly (6 1/2 innings, 3 hits, 1 ER, 5 Ks) in a winning effort against the Twinkies. Off of a rare two-error play by Michael Cuddyer (hit by Chris Getz), Paul Konerko was able to score the tying run (homerun by Delmon Young). Jim Thome hit HR number 543 after almost getting robbed by Joe Crede in what could've been play of the year. Brent Lillibridge came into the game after Getz was hit by a pitch and eventually led into a shallow sac fly from Carlos Quentin (showing the Sox have some speed back). . Jermaine Dye hit number 299 off the first pitch from closer Joe Nathan. In the top of the ninth, Bobby Jenks came in with the bases loaded, striking out Joe Crede and then getting Delmon Young to hit into a game ending double play. Final score: 6-1
