Nick Swisher hits a grand slam and Derek Lowe works four scoreless innings as the Yankees crushed Ryan Dempster and the Texas Rangers.
The Rangers travel to New York for the only time in the regular season but there's an increasingly large chance that these two teams could meet again in October. It's a battle for best record in the American League.
