Wild card Yankees rally to beat minnesota 6-4

Indoors or outdoors, the New York Yankees still own the Minnesota Twins in the postseason.

Mark Teixeira hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the seventh inning to rally the Yankees to a 6-4 victory over the Twins in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Wednesday night.

Yankees ace CC Sabathia labored, but reliever David Robertson fanned Jim Thome in a key spot and Mariano Rivera got the final four outs to close another win for the defending World Series champions. The Yankees rallied from a 3-0 deficit against Francisco Liriano and improved to 10-2 against the Twins in the playoffs since 2003.
