One of the best things about baseball is that if you happen to have a game where you lose 20-2, it's only one game out of 162.  The problem being if you're the one who wins a game like that, you can't re-distribute your runs to the follwing day's game either.  Therein lied the problem for the New York Yankees (4-4) against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.

After Mike Mussina went down early with a leg injury, the Yankees were aided by a sac-fly RBI from Alex Rodriguez and the continued brilliant relief of Sean Henn to hold the Twins at bay 1-0. 

However close games are where Minnesota thrives, with small ball and a deep bullpen.  Kyle Farnsworth was not sharp, walking leadoff batter and speedster Luis Castillo in the bottom of the 8th.  Castillo came around to score on an RBI single from Joe Mauer and the flood gates opened from there as the Twins rolled on to win 5-1.

Yanks go to Oakland to take on the A's starting Friday night.
