Vazquez (6-5) won his third straight start, allowing three runs on six hits over seven innings. He struck out six, did not walk a batter and has come out a winner in five of his last six decisions. "I was throwing strikes, thats the bottom line. I didnt think I had real good stuff, but I battled out there," said Vazquez. Jeter also walked, scored three times and drove in four for New York, which has now won 10 of its last 13 games. It was Jeters ninth career multi-homer effort. Carlos Lee and Hunter Pence both had solo home runs and Jeff Keppinger provided an RBI double for the Astros, who had won three in a row before dropping the first two games of this weekend set. Wandy Rodriguez (3-9) fell for the fifth time in six starts after giving up seven hits and eight runs while walking five over five-plus innings. The Yankees trailed 2-1 entering the bottom of the third, but scored five runs with the help of some Houston misplays to move in front for good. Jeter drew a leadoff walk and took off for second. The throw from catcher Humberto Quintero appeared to be in time, but Keppinger failed to make the catch and the ball skipped into center field, allowing Jeter to race to third. Nick Swisher then stroked an RBI single to tie the game. Mark Teixeira followed with a walk and Robinson Cano reached on an infield single off the glove of Rodriguez to load the bases for Posada, who lifted an offering over the right-center field wall for his seventh homer of the season and his eighth career grand slam. "With his (Rodriguez) command, when you get behind hitters like that, its going to be tough. Posada hit the first pitch, but its the baserunners you allow to get on in front of him," said Astros manager Brad Mills. Lee crushed a Vazquez fastball deep into the left-field seats with two down in the sixth, but New York extended its lead in the home half on Jeters second home run. Authentic Darren Sproles Jersey. Rodriguez issued walks to Francisco Cervelli and Curtis Granderson to start the frame and Jeff Fulchino was brought on in relief. A fly ball from Kevin Russo served as the first out, but Jeter went the other way with a slider on the outer part of the plate for a three-run shot and 9-3 lead. David Robertson got Pence to bounce into a fielders choice with two on and two outs in the eighth and Chad Gaudin tossed a scoreless ninth to finish out the win. The Yankees grabbed a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when Jeter led off with his seventh homer of the season. "I dont hit too many home runs but it always feels good. Especially starting off the game, you want to give (vazquez) a lead and let him get comfortable," Jeter said. The Astros quickly tied it when Pence hit the first pitch of the second inning into the left-center field bleachers for his 10th home run. Houston then went ahead in the third. Tommy Manzella led off with a single and raced home from first on a double into the left field corner by Keppinger.
