It wasn't long ago that it seemed like the pitching was in control of this game. Runs are now coming left and right, and after CC Sabathia issued a bases-loaded walk to Danny Valencia in the bottom of the sixth to knot things up at four, Mark Teixeira has come right back to put the Yankees in front once more.
Twins Vs. Yankees, ALDS Game 1: Mark Teixeira Blast Has Yankees Back In Front
His was a two-run blast off reliever Jesse Crain that scored Nick Swisher and that just sneaked around the right field foul pole. Momentum is back on New York's side, and if you're the Twins, you have two innings to keep the Yankees quiet and try to score off their setup relievers before they get to Mariano Rivera.
