Mark Teixeira’s Walk-Off Homer in 11th Lifts Yankees over Twins

Mark TeixeiraNEW YORK — Mark Teixeira
hit a leadoff homer in the 11th inning to give the New York Yankees a
4-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night and 2-0 lead in
their AL playoff series.
Teixeira’s drive off Jose Mijares
hit the top of the left-field wall and skipped over as the Yankee
Stadium crowd roared. Teixeira tossed aside his batting helmet as he
approached home and was mobbed by teammates.

Alex Rodriguez
hit a tying, two-run homer in the ninth off Minnesota closer Joe Nathan.

The Twins loaded the bases with no outs in the 11th without scoring. They were hurt by a mistake by left-field umpire Phil Cuzzi, who ruled Joe Mauer‘s leadoff liner foul. The ball bounced into the stands and clearly should’ve been a leadoff ground-rule double.
