The Yankees go up against the Minnesota Twins this week in a 4 game series. The teams met back in April in Minnesota, with the Yankees taking 2 of 3. Kyle Farnsworth, what a shock, gave up 4 runs in the 8th inning of the series finale, as the Twins salvaged the final game.
The Twins are 42-38, leaving them 6.5 games behind the AL Central leading Indians and 5 back of the Wild Card leaving Tigers.
Defending AL MVP, Justin Morneau is hitting .279 with 20 HR and 61 RBI. Free agent to be Torii Hunter is having a huge year, batting .302-17-63 and 11 steals. Catcher Joe Mauer missed considerable time with a quad injury. In 48 games, he's batting .298-4-30 with 34 runs scored.
Johann Santana is the leader in all pitching categories among the starters and Joe Nathan has been solid as usual in the closer's role.
