anything.) The walk off magic continues. Mark Teixeira hit a laser to left field that just barely went over the wall for a game winning, walk off solo home run to put the Yanks up 2-0 in the series. Again, like almost all season against the Yankees, the Twins had a lead. And again, the Yankees do damage in the 9th to tie the game. The Yankees new 3rd basemen....uh wait...I think that's still Alex Rodriguez, hit a clutch (yes, that's right CLUTCH), game-tying, 2 run home run off of Joe Nathan, to tie the game at 3 and eventually force extra innings. Alex Rodriguez has been huge for the Yankees so far this post season. In 2 games, Alex Rodriguez has already 5 RBIs and they have been coming when the Yankees needed it the most. The Yankees will head up to the Metrodome and send out Andy Pettitte (14-8) to sweep the series. The Twins will send out former Dr. James Andrews favorite patient and Yankee, Carl Pavano (14-12), to oppose Pettitte.Notes - The Twins placed Matt Tolbert on the DL with a oblique strain. They have called infielder Brian Buscher to take his place on the roster. The Yankees now have 16 walk offs wins this season (15 in the regular season and 1 in the post season).
