David Bednar got his first save for the New York Yankees after going a little longer than expected, and ended their five-game losing streak before going home.

The Yankees' losing skid ended with a win over the Rangers, helping avoid a series sweep and a winless road trip.

There was not much to salvage from the Yankees’ road trip, but there is this: they will at least fly home still clinging on to a playoff spot with 47 games to go.
