Mark Teixeira hit a grand slam and Nick Swisher had a three-run drive in a nine-run third inning and the New York Yankees ambushed the Oakland Athletics early for a 17-7 victory in the searing heat Friday night.

Swisher and Teixeira homered with two bases-loaded walks in between as the Yankees had their highest-scoring inning of the season — it was also the most runs allowed by the A’s in an inning in 2011. The big inning followed a five-run burst against Trevor Cahill (8-9) in the second and sent Oakland to its 11th straight loss against New York.

Derek Jeter drove in three runs and Swisher matched a career high with five RBIs for the Yankees. Backup catcher Francisco Cervelli reached base five times with three hits and two walks.
