Rangers pitcher Cliff Lee says that his sore back is not "restricting" at all.

Lee returned to the mound for the first time since Aug. 31 and allowed two hits before exiting in the ninth inning of a 4-1 victory that completed a three-game sweep of the Yankees.

"It's not restricting at all, so that's a good thing," said Lee, who won for the first time since Aug. 6.
