Some way to bust out of a slump.
Alex Rodriguez, who had looked every bit his 40 years for the last three weeks, cracked a game-changing grand slam in the seventh inning, sending the Yankees to an 8-4 victory over the Twins in front of 38,007 Tuesday night at the Stadium.
A-Rod broke an 0-for-18 skid. "I've been stinking up the joint the last three weeks,'' he said. "A home run feels great, a grand slam feels awesome, especially to do it late and help us win a game.''
The Yankees (66-52) maintained a one-game lead in the AL East over the Blue Jays, who beat the Phillies.
