NEW YORK -- Gary Sanchezs at-bats are becoming must-see events.The 23-year old rookie homered for the eighth time in nine games and drove in four runs as the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 14-4 Friday night in the opener of their weekend series.Guys are excited to watch, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Its as good as Ive seen to start a career.Mark Teixeira and Chase Headley also went deep for the surging Yankees, who moved five games over .500 for the first time this season and are 3 1/2 games behind Baltimore for the second AL wild card.Sanchez, who had three hits, singled with two outs in the bottom of the first. Teixeira followed with a towering shot into the right-field bleachers off Yovani Gallardo to give New York a 2-1 lead.The Yankees broke the game open against Gallardo (4-6) with a six-run second. The right-hander was charged with eight runs over 1 1/3 innings, the shortest start of his 10-year career.Luis Cessa (4-0) gave up three runs and five hits over six innings in his second big-league start.Manny Machado homered twice for the Orioles, giving him 31 for the season. Along with Mark Trumbo (38) and Chris Davis (30), it marks the first time in franchise history the Orioles have three players with 30 homers before September.Headley singled and Aaron Judge walked to start the second inning. Ronald Torreyes lifted a fly ball to left-center field but a charging Nolan Reimold could not glove the ball cleanly, loading the bases. Reimold had just replaced star center fielder Adam Jones, who exited with a left hamstring strain.I just didnt like the way he was moving around. Decided not to take a chance with him, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said about Jones early departure. See where we are tomorrow. Its not a DL thing. I think were still in pretty good shape.Brett Gardner followed with a single to left that drove in Headley and a sliding Judge to give the Yankees a 4-1 lead. Jacoby Ellsbury singled to right, scoring Torreyes for New Yorks fifth run.Sanchez, hitting .541 with eight homers and 14 RBI over his last 10 games, chased Gallardo with a two-run double to right that made it 7-1.Im trying to just put a good swing on the ball, Sanchez said through a translator. Thats the mindset that I have and good things are happening.Teixiera capped the scoring in the big inning with an RBI single off reliever Vance Worley for his third RBI of the game.Headleys two-run homer in the fourth pushed the Yankees lead to 10-1, and Sanchez clubbed a two-run shot in the next inning for his 10th homer in 20 games this season.Anytime somebodys hot you want to watch their at-bats, Gardner said. Hes as hot as it gets right now so were all having a good time watching him.Machado, who gave the Orioles the lead in the first, hit his second of the game into the right-field seats in the sixth to make it 12-3 with his ninth career multi-homer game.Torreyes and Gardner both had RBI hits in the seventh.Yankees right-hander Ben Heller pitched a scoreless eighth in his major league debut.RAREFIED AIRSanchez became only the third player in major league history to hit 10 homers in his first 22 career games, also achieved by Colorados Trevor Story this year and Bostons George Scott in 1966.The 20 RBI across his first 22 games are the third-most in Yankees history behind Joe DiMaggio and Hideki Matsui.MILESTONE FOR MARKTeixeiras home run was his 202nd as a Yankee, tying Bill Dickey for 16th place on the franchises all-time list.TRAINERS ROOMOrioles: Jones was in the starting lineup despite leaving Thursday nights game with hamstring cramps.

Tim McCarver .C. -- Todd Fiddler scored a hat trick, including the overtime goal, as the Prince George Cougars survived an 8-7 win against the Kamloops Blazers in Western Hockey League play Sunday. FRISCO, Texas -- The MRI on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romos?back showed that his compression fracture has healed to the point where the quarterback has no more concern about this injury that has sidelined him this year, general manager Jerry Jones said.While speaking on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday morning, Jones, however, would not say when Romo would return to game action. The targeted dates have been Oct. 30 against the Philadelphia Eagles and Nov. 6 against the Cleveland Browns.Also on Tuesday, Jones said we wont take any chances there, regarding wide receiver Dez Bryants recovery from a tibial plateau fracture near his right knee. Jones said Bryant had some sensitivity after running last week and that Thursday and Friday will be critical in determining whether he will play against the Green Bay Packers.Jones said doctors have told him that Romos vertebra should be as strong or stronger than what it was before the injury.Romos focus now is conditioning and getting back into football shape after being sidelined since Aug. 25. He has been throwing for the past month. On Monday, coach Jason Garrett said that taking part in team drills is a little further down the road. The Cowboys will have their bye after playing the Packers on Sunday.What youre into is getting him to get his core, get his core/back area back in shape as hes had to do for the last several years, Jones told The Fan. All players at this age need to do it, have to do that. So its just a question of him working back in. Weve got a great situation here. I just have to pinch myself to think about it. Weve got Dak Prescott, whos playing at a level that is very capable of winning these games.Weve got the future. Every time he walks out there, we got the optimism of tthe future.dddddddddddd Its inspiring. Its inspiring his team and then we have in my mind one of the very top quarterbacks in the league as well. So at a position that in the past weve been compromised at, were entering a time here where were one of the best at the position that there is in the NFL.Prescott has thrown four touchdown passes and has gone 155 passes without an interception, closing in on New England Patriots quarterback?Tom Bradys record of 162 passes without a pick to start a career. Because of Prescotts play, Jones said the Cowboys can maximize Romos rehab time and pick their spot as to when the veteran quarterback will return.No one is happier to have Dak Prescott performing and winning than Tony Romo because he can see that this is going to give him an opportunity to be on a Cowboy team thats got a chance to do it now, Jones said. And really do it in a big way. Maybe all the way.While many outside organizations wonder about an impending quarterback controversy, Jones looks at it differently because things can change quickly.Its a miracle problem to have, in my mind, Jones said. Im so proud because every time Dak takes a snap, I see our future getting stronger. I see the encouragement that his future brings to this team. I see what hes doing right now, his presence on that particular series or that particular down, all of that is there. And I look over there and in my mind [see] someone that is very capable of winning it all, Tony Romo, with all that experience. ... So how do you ask for any more? I dont have to have succinct problem-solving answers at this time. I dont live that way. ' ' '
