That homer upped Rodriguez’s batting average to .154 and it was his first homer since his first at-bat. The win took the New York Yankees to 19-17 on the season. With the loss, the Twins dropped to 18-19.

Prior to the big hit by A-Rod, Mark Teixeira was the star for New York. He finished the ballgame 4-for-4 with one walk, two runs and four RBIs. His big hit was a three-run blast in the third inning.

The Twins got solo homers from their two big bats in the lineup – Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau. Mauer is now hitting .423 on the season, while Morneau is at .324.

These two teams will play again on Sunday afternoon and Monday night.
