Yanks Beat Twins in Twelve
It took twelve innings, but the Yankees were able to beat the Twins today, putting us one over .500. Bobby Abreu got the game-winning single, which drove in Johnny Damon for the run. The final score of the game was 7 to 6. The Yankees combined for 11 hits, including one by Derek Jeter, who has been slumping lately. Alex Rodriguez had two RBIs on the day as did Abreu. It looks like A. Rod.’s return has got the team back to normal offensively. Thank god for that.
The Yankees weren’t bad on the other side of the ball either. Chien-Ming Wang struggled a bit, giving up five runs in a little over five innings pitched, but other than him everyone looked great. Wang has had a rough couple of weeks, but it doesn’t look too serious and he should be back to normal soon. The relief played well instead of him today, giving up only one run and four hits in almost 7 innings pitched. Ross Ohlendorf ended up getting the win and Mariano Rivera got the save, making it his 15th on the year. Who says Rivera is old? He has yet to blow save this season.
And now we head to June baseball… First game is tomorrow against the Twins at 2:10EST. Darrell Rasner will take the mound for the Yankees and Nick Blackburn will suit up for the Twins. The game will be aired on YES.
