Twin Killing

Godzilla just stomped on the Twins, hitting a solo HR just out of Torii Hunter's reach, making the score 8-1 in favor of the Yankees. Kevin Brown is getting hit, but he's spread the 8 hits out and only added 1 base runner with a walk. Brown, with his final start of the regular season and this game has shown he's back in form. That now gives the Yankees three solid pitchers (Mussina, Lieber and Brown) if they make it to the next round. However, Brown is not striking people out (1 K in 6 innings so far tonight). If Brown and Lieber let the Red Sox put the ball in play, they are going to give up some runs.

Update: Just saw the replay. I didn't realize Hunter had caught the ball before he dropped it over the fence on the collision. That has to hurt, and more than just his body.
