NEW YORK (AP) -- A.J. Burnett bounced back from a horrible start cut short by a self-inflicted injury to pitch five scoreless innings, Robinson Cano hit a three-run double and the New York Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals 7-1 on Friday night in a game delayed by a wicked thunderstorm.
The game was halted for 1 hour, 25 minutes with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning, when a deluge of rain made visibility
difficult at Yankee Stadium. Spectacular lightning drew more "oohs" than each swing by Alex Rodriguez, who was 2 for 4 in his
first game since hitting his 599th home run Thursday night.
Rodriguez walked and scored in the first, had an infield single in the third, struck out looking in the fifth, lined a single to left-center in the seventh and grounded to third.
