Andy "you so good at pitching" Pettitte, earns his 6th win on the season!



Jorge juiced one! Joe Mauer, and Home Plate Umpire Charlie Sawyer couldn't help but to watch!


The fans in the second deck, prepare to catch Jorge's home run! Take your pick on who will come down with the ball!



Mark Teixeira has no problem with hitting 5th in the lineup, as he went 4-for-4 on the day!


Robinson Cano is finally showing life with his bat! As he drives this ball to center field!


Denard Span did every thing he could to bring Cano's homer back, but it was way out of his reach!



Yankees pick up consecutive win number 4, beating the Twins at home.

The Yankees scored a fairly easy 8-2 win over the Twins today, with a crowd of 52,325 fans on hand at Yankee Stadium.

Mark Teixeira homered and drove in 3 runs to lead the way for the Yankees.

Allowing 5 hits in 6 innings, Andy Pettitte was able to pick up his 6th win of the season with some -- okay, a lot -- of help from his 'pen.

Andy was asked after the game about his team's efforts. "It's always a good day when we put up 8 runs like we did today."

Roy Oswalt (2-3, 4.87) will get the call for the Yankees tonight against John Lackey (1-1,5.75) and the Red Sox, who come into town for the first game of a new series.

The Tampa Bay Rays have placed numerous players on the Trade Block already (Rafael Soriano, Carlos Pena, Carl Crawford, Matt Garza, and Lance Cormier.) , this early in the year. One of those players happens to be Carl Crawford, the Yankees have major interest in bringing him to the organization.
