Ronald Guzman became the youngest player since Mickey Mantle to homer three times at any version of Yankee Stadium, and the Texas Rangers beat the New York Yankees 12-7 on Friday night.

The 23-year-old Guzman recorded the first three-homer game in the regular season by a Ranger since Adrian Beltre on Aug. 22, 2012. He matched the feat achieved by a 23-year-old Mantle on May 13, 1955, against the Detroit Tigers and hit two homers off Masahiro Tanaka (9-3).
