Bottom Offense
The Yankees pulled within a game of the Twins, easily defeating them by a score of 12-4. The whole team hit well, but three struggling players turned in fine performances. The 6 through 8 players, Cano, Cabrera and Molina combined for a seven for fourteen night with four runs scored. Cano added a home run. That was more than enough runs for Ponson, who goes to 6-1 on the season. The Yankees are undefeated in four games since the break, and now sit 2 1/2 games behind the Red Sox for the wild card, pending the outcome of the Boston game in Seattle.
