Mark Teixeira enjoyed a record-breaking Friday night in Chicago.
The New York Yankees slugger launched his 10th career grand slam in the second inning versus the White Sox, from the right side of the plate.

The first baseman has now homered from both sides of the plate in 14 different games in his 13-year career, breaking Nick Swisher's MLB record.
It was also Teixeira's 41st multi-homer game as a switch-hitter, which ranks second to Yankees legend Mickey Mantle's mark of 46.
Teixeira, who also smashed two homers Thursday, finished 3-for-4 with six RBIs and walked twice in the Yankees' 13-6 win.
