Twins Sneak By Yankees, 7-6
Despite a great performance by New York (A) left fielder Desmond Jennings, the Minnesota Twins defeated the Yankees by the score of 7-6 at Metropolitan Stadium. Jennings went 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 3 runs. The Minnesota winning streak has reached 3 games.

Manny Trillo was the walk-off hero for Minnesota. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Twins second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Trillo told the Minnesota Times. "It's as simple as that."
