Jorge Posada hit his first home run in two months, a two-run blast that powered the New York Yankees to a 4-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.
Freddy Garcia (6-6) pitched seven strong innings, giving up only two runs on three hits to send the Yankees to their 10th win in the last 12 games.
Mariano Rivera worked a perfect ninth for his 19th save of the season and 578th of his career.
Posada's blast off Reds starter Mike Leake (6-4) snapped a 2-2 tie and dropped Cincinnati to 1-7 in interleague play. It was his first homer since April 23.
Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano had a pair of hits and two RBIs to extend his hitting streak to 10 games.
