Twins Vs. Yankees, ALDS Game 1: Mariano Rivera Inherits Jam, Two-Run Lead

The Twins didn't want to get here, and the Yankees didn't want to get here this early. After a scoreless bottom of the seventh and a scoreless top of the eighth, the Twins came into the bottom of the eighth down 6-4, but a Jason Kubel walk and a Danny Valencia infield single have given them a glimmer of hope. The good news for Minnesota? There are two men in scoring position and two out. The bad news? Joe Girardi called on Mariano Rivera for the four-out save. Denard Span has a glorious opportunity to tie this thing up, but he'll have to do it against the best postseason pitcher in the history of the game.

Boone Logan, David Robertson, and Kerry Wood combined to throw 1.2 innings of so-far scoreless relief for the Yankees, with two hits, two walks, and two strikeouts. Wood is responsible for the two runners on base.
