While John Smoltz was pitching vintage Sunday baseball, Teixeira was hitting lights out.
The recently-acquired switch-hitter erupted The Jake after driving in four runs on two homers to aid in the Atlanta Braves' 6-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. One of Teixeira's bombs came in the first inning and the other in the third - both off Yusmeiro Petit.
The 27-year-old first baseman has gone deep seven times in 17 games so far with Atlanta, giving him 20 longballs and 68 RBIs on the season.

Awesome article! Now if the pitching can just catch up to the offense, we'll be set!
Tex for Salty was the best trade this season - hands down. HANDS DOWN!
He did it again last night, too.
