Phil Hughes was not at his best tonight, but he had the benefit of a nine run night by the Yankees offense that included homers by Mark Teixeira, Nick Swisher, and Curtis Granderson, as the Yankees beat the Oakland Athletics 9-3. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays and the Boston Red Sox both lost, giving the Yankees sole possession of first place and a bigger lead in the Wild-Card.
