On Friday, the Yankees were crushed by the Twins. The start of yesterday's game began to yield similar results due to the substandard pitching of CC Sabathia. However, Alex Rodriguez was not about to let that happen. A-Rod, early favorite for comeback player of the year, hit not one, not two, but three home runs to both keep the Yankees in the game as well as tie it in the top of the 9th.
That ninth inning dinger was so exciting that John Sterling potentially banged his desk out of sheer joy when it was indeed gone.
