New York -- Nick Swisher and Robinson Cano hit back-to-back homers Wednesday, helping the New York Yankees stay alive with a 7-2 win over Texas in Game 5 of the ALCS.
Curtis Granderson added a solo shot and went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI for the Yankees, who avoided elimination and forced a Game 6 to be played Friday in Arlington, Texas.
Jorge Posada collected two hits and drove in a run to back CC Sabathia (1-0), who survived an inconsistent outing in which he surrendered a pair of runs on 11 hits over six frames, walking none and striking out seven.
The Yankees grabbed a 3-0 lead off Texas starter C.J. Wilson (0-1) in the second inning thanks to RBI singles by Posada and Granderson and outfielder Jeff Francoeur's fielding error.
