[Full Cougar]

The Yankees win with a score of 7-2 and are now up 1-0 against the Twins. Some notes from the game-

• Sabathia looked good, 6.2 innings, 8 strikeouts, 2 runs. I'll definitely take that performance all the way through the post-season.
• Phil Hughes looked like he can handle the pressure on the big stage, hopefully that stays with him.
• Jeter was great. 2-2 with 3 runs, 2 walks, 2 RBIs. Good to see considering his last playoff appearance.
• A-rod may have proven he can play during the post-season. 2-4 with a run and 2 RBIs.
• Matsui had a home run, that was nice to see.
• It was good to see we can mix and match with the bullpen to secure the win, however it did seem like a lot of pitchers were used, including Mariano.
