Twins Beat Yanks 7-3

Joba Chamberlain started today for the Yanks. In one inning he allowed two runs on three hits. Dan Giese also got roughed up. He allowed four runs on four hits and two walks in two innings.

Besides Chamberlain and Giese the pitching was pretty good today. Jose Veras rebounded from his shaky appearance a couple games ago with a perfect inning, he also struck out two. Michael Dunn and Kanekoa Teixeira also pitched scoreless innings. And Kei Igawa threw two scoreless.

Alex Rodriguez went 0-for-1 with a sac fly. Derek Jeter went 1-for-2 with run scored, and also drove in a run with a sac fly. Mark Teixeira went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored.

Shelley Duncan was the only Yankee who had a multi-hit game. He went 2-for-3 and scored a run.

Melky Cabrera, Robinson Cano and Jesus Montero all had one hit apiece.
