The first nine outs of Saturday's nightcap flew by, as Phil Hughes worked a perfect first and a perfect second, and Brian Duensing worked around a leadoff single by Derek Jeter in the first to toss a scoreless frame.
Yankees Vs. Twins, ALDS Game 3: Jorge Posada Singles Home Robinson Cano As Yankees Strike First
The Yankees were able to push the first run of the game across in the second, however. Robinson Cano led off with a deep fly ball off the center field fence, and he scampered 270 feet around for a triple. After a Marcus Thames pop out, Jorge Posada came through by grounding a first-pitch changeup through the hole and into left field. The single drove Cano home, and though Curtis Granderson bounced into an inning-ending double play, it's 1-0 Yankees after two innings of work.
