Bronx Bombers Top Giants 5-2

Carlos Beltran and Mark Teixeira hit early solo home runs

Nathan Eovaldi pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning and the New York Yankees beat the San Francisco Giants 5-2 Sunday to complete a 6-4 homestand that likely was too little and too late to keep management from selling off players ahead of the Aug. 1 trade deadline.

Carlos Beltran and Mark Teixeira hit early solo home runs.

Making his second start following a brief bullpen banishment, Eovaldi (9-6) carried a five-hitter into the seventh, escaping bases-loaded, one-out trouble in a 33-pitch fourth inning when Mac Williamson fouled out and Ramiro Pena grounded out.

Eovaldi left after Angel Pagan's two-out double on his 118th pitch, two shy of his career high. With the No Runs DMC trio unavailable after two days of heavy use, Chasen Shreve came in and loaded the bases with a walk to Brandon Belt, and Buster Posey poked an opposite-field, two-run single to right against Chad Green before retiring Brandon Crawford on a groundout.

Green, brought back from Triple-A last week, pitched 2 1/3 innings for his first big league save.
