The New York Yankess return to their home stadium to open up a four game series with the Minnesota Twins who must be flying high at the moment, after winning four straight matches in a row. Phil Hughes will be starting for the Yankees and his last performance only lasted him into the second innings when he gave up eight runs then. That was a contrasting for the young pitcher from his previous start whereby he only allowed two hits over six innings. But the consolation for them is that the Minnesota Twins have their woeful pitcher out on the mound for the game today. Liriano has always been a sub par pitcher and his inconsistent starts this year have already caused him to surrender four losses.

The Twins, despite their good recent form, are a team who struggle on the road this season. Their record of 4-8 on their travels suggest that they do not play as well as at home and more importantly for the yanks is that they have Alex Rodriguez back to their starting lineup and he really will cause some damage to Liriano high pitchers in the early innings. The Twins do struggle against the bigger teams in the American League, go for the yankees to claim the win here.
