Burnett starts tonight. He comes in with 99 season strike outs, hopin to get 100 and more.
In the second inning, Matsui singles, Posada singles, and Cano singled to load the bases. Swisher grounded out to score Matsui, but then Gardner does the real damage, hitting a single to score the Posada and Cano left on base. 3-0. The Twins get 2 of those back in the bottom of the forth, two out single, walk, two wild pitches and a double. 3-2. In the fifth Rodriguez hits a single to score Jeter from second. 4-2. In the bottom of the inning, Burnett gets his 100th strike out of the season. After taking Burnett out after 6.1 innings, Coke lets a HR go. 4-3.
Rivera was brought in for the 4 out save. After a line out to Jeter in the eighth, he gets his 22nd save after a ground out, strike out, and another line out to Jeter. Sweet.
Burnett gets the W by pitching 6.1 innings, gave up 2 earned runs off of 7 hits with 4 walks and 2 strike outs. Not a very strong outing for him. He got the first two outs of the innings, some with no problems. But he let on 7 runners after 2 outs, that shouldn't happen. 2 of those were his earned runs against.
Jeter went 2-5, scoring a run. Posada went 2-3 scoring a run. Gardner went 1-4 with a 2 run single. Sweet, slow low scoring game, but a win none-the-less.
