Shut down by the Rocket
One of the more memorable moments from the 2006 season was the game in late June in which Francisco Liriano faced off against Roger Clemens in his season debut for the Houston Astros. Liriano stole the spotlight from Clemens as he allowed just 2 runs through 8 innings on his way to his seventh win of the season.
Series preview - New York Yankees
The Twins are coming off a split with the Chicago White Sox after a fabulous April start from Johan Santana and a 3-run homer from Justin Morneau on Sunday. The Twins sit atop the AL Central standing with a 4-1 record (2 wins ahead of Cleveland who hasn't been able to play due to weather). The Yankees are off to a bit of a rough start, similar to last year. They'll begin their first road trip tonight at the dome after a 2-3 homestand against weaker teams like the Devil Rays and Orioles.
Yankees 9, Twins 3
After dropping the first two games of the series, the Yankees set out to remind the Twins just who they were, and that's exactly what they did on Sunday at the Metrodome. Brad Radke gave up 3 runs in the 2nd inning including a deep homerun for Jason Giambi. Radke also gave up 2 runs in the 5th and 1 run in the 6th. Radke gave up 3 homeruns in the game after neither team hit any homeruns in the first two games of the series.
