October 6, 2006: Yankees 9 Twins 2 (Yankees lead series, 2-1)




The Yankees make it look easy in taking the lead in their ALDS series with the Twins. The Yanks led off the 2nd with a single, double, walk and a double that was misplayed by the right fielder Mike Cuddyer. The 4 runs that would eventually score would be all the Yankees would need. Cuddyer went 0 for 5 with 3 strikeouts as the Twins cleanup hitter, so he was a disappointment all around for the homestanding Twins.

Carlos Silva gets the start for the Twins in game 4. He will be opposed by Jaret Wright.

3 base hits. That early scoring was all that Randy Johnson(1-0) needed. New
York (AL) had 11 hits overall, while Minnesota had 7.

Ron Villone earned the save, his 1st. Brad Radke(0-1) suffered the loss. He
got hit pretty hard, allowing 7 hits and 3 walks in 4 and 1/3 innings.
