Spanning the Field
Denard Span ran from second on a 3-2 pitch and scored on an infield hit that ticked off Sidney Ponson's glove. The Twins lead the Yankees 4-0 in the bottom of the eighth.
Update: The Twins win 4-0. Nice game for new father Glen Perkins who earns a short shutout, pitching eight innings while allowing four hits and three walks. Minnesota improves it's playoff position relative to the Yankees, who may find themselves five games out of the wild card if the Red Sox can hold on. Boston just took a 4-1 lead in the ninth on a bases loaded double by Jed Lowrie.

The Red Sox did hold on with that ninth inning rally. By the way, will somebody please get Griffey out of center? During that decisive ninth inning rally, he let a very catchable ball drop in front of him. It was so obvious that Remy commented on it.
NYY gets shut out and has no xbh. Toronto is closer to NYY than NYY is to Boston.
