Game Notes

Help, luck and big bucks pay dividends for the Yankees in a 4-3 win over the Twins in 11 innings.

Minnesota leaves 17 runners on base, including leaving the bases loaded in the 11th, an inning that also features one of the worst missed calls on a double by Joe Mauer that was ruled foul despite landing in fair territory. And then one of the many multi-million dollar Free Agent acquistions pays off with a solo HR to lead off the bottom of the 11th.

Mark Teixeira's shot wins it after Alex Rodriguez's 2-run HR in the bottom of the 9th sends it to extra innings. Big free agent signee A.J. Burnett makes the start for New York, which proves that... competency coupled with an unlimited budget does produce results.
