New York Yankees outfielder Tom Tresh, 27, enduring a weak batting average this season, hit a grand slam in the opener and a pinch homer in the nightcap to spark a doubleheader sweep of the California Angels. He has five homers in eight games but eight hits in his last four official at bats, and a muscle pull in his left leg has flared during games.
