Yankees Win An ALDS Classic In The Bronx

With 15 walk-off wins in the regular season, you'd expect there might be some of that kind of magic in the postseason--and you'd be right!

Friday night, in the bottom of the 11th, Mark Teixeira hit a solo home run to break a 3-3 tie and lift the Yankees 4-3 over the Minnesota Twins, giving the Yanks a commanding 2-0 lead in the ALDS...

But that storybook ending wouldn't have been possible if Alex Rodriguez hadn't provided high drama in the 9th inning when he tied the game with a 2 run home run...

Additional Notes:

A.J. Burnett had some control issues but nonetheless pitched well enough to allow only 1 run over 6 innings of work...

Phil Hughes uncharacteristically gave up 2 earned runs in the 8th...the rest of the pen, Joba Chamberlain, Phil Coke, Mariano Rivera, Alfredo Aceves, Damaso Marte and Dave Robertson did not allow a run although there were some rocky spots...

Tommorow the Yanks have the day off...Game 3 will be played in the Metrodome in Minnesota on Sunday night...Andy Pettitte will be on the hill...

The Yankees clinch with one more win!

Let's Go Yanks!!!!!
