After giving up runs in the second, forth, forth and fifth, Jeter hits a home run in the bottom of the fifth to get the Yankees on the board. Then the Twins get a 4th run in the seventh to get a 4-1 lead. But the Yankees aren't done. Gardner hits an inside the park home run in the seventh. And then Gardner triples in the ninth and scores off a Teixeira single. Then, with bases loaded, two outs, Melky Cabrera, on the first pitch, hits a 2 run single to give the Yankees the first lead of the game and the win!
Hughes had a good start, 3 earned runs is a good start in my book, the line up should be able to win with only 3 scored against. He pitched 5 innings, gave 3 runs on 6 hits, 4 walks with only 2 strike outs. All right, so maybe it wasn't as strong as I thought.
Gardner 3-3 with 1 RBI and scoreing 2 runs. I think it is safe to say he got the Yankees back in this. Hitting an inside the park home run is something that gets everyone excited, and being in Yankee Stadium, I am sure everyone was on their feet in the ninth inning to help Cabrera after that triple and single. Teixeira was 2-4 with an RBI, Gardner in the ninth, and scored a run in the ninth as well. Rodriguez got up 5 times, struck out once, and was walked 4 times. I wonder how many times he has been walked now since hes been back..? Melky Cabrera, with the game winning single, 2-5 with 2 RBIs.
