Melky Mesa homers for Yankees
Melky Mesa - OF - New York Yankees
March 1, 2013 - 2:10 AM ET

Melky Mesa went 2-for-3 and hit a three-run homer off the Astros' Sam Demel on Thursday.

Mesa is now competing for a spot on the Yankees with Curtis Granderson down. He's also battling to be the Dominican Republic's left fielder in the World Baseball Classic. The 26-year-old hit .264/.325/.480 between Double- and Triple-A last year.
