HR: (CLE) Jhonny Peralta (4), (NYY) Alex Rodriguez (7, grand slam), Robinson Cano (11)

The dormant offense from Minnesota woke up. During this the series, the Yankees scored a total of 37 runs. However, today's game was about Andy Pettitte. Through 7 innings, Pettitte allowed 4 hits and had 5 strikeouts while surrendering 1 run. Pettitte is off to one of the best starts in his career with an ERA at 2.48. What's more impressive is that he is doing it all at age 38. Pettitte was truly stellar in today's game. In the 7th inning however, the game broke open. With Ramiro Pena, Curtis Granderson, and Mark Teixeira on base, Alex Rodriguez hit a monster shot to center field for a grand slam to put the Yankees ahead 6-1. Then came Robinson Cano, who followed with a solo shot of his own, to put the Yankees ahead 7-1. It didn't stop there. In the 8th inning, the Yankees scored 4 more runs on hits by Francisco Cervelli, A-Rod, and Cano. A big game for A-Rod who finished 3-4 with 6 RBI. Chan Ho Park closed out the last 2 innings to give the Yankees a 11-2 win.

The action continues tomorrow as the Yankees host the Orioles at 7:05 PM.
