Good news for the Twins: Denard Span was able to break up Phil Hughes' perfect game and no-hitter by leading off the fourth with a line drive single.

Bad news for the Twins: Orlando Hudson then bounced into a 6-4-3 double play, and Joe Mauer flew out to end the frame.

Through three and a half, it's still 2-0 Yankees, and Minnesota's down to 15 outs.
