A Twin Killing . . . 5 Times!

The Minnesota Twins turned 5 double plays to go along with Johan Santana's 9-hit shutout performance to beat the New York Yankees 2-0 in the first game of their five game series. Great pitching, clutch hitting, back-to-the-basics fielding and some outstanding relief pitching made it a long night for the Yanks. The Twins cannot take this win for granted. They stole a game at Yankee Stadium in last year's playoffs, only to have the Yankees win the next three games and the series. This promises to be a heckuva series!
