New York rode a fine outing from starter Ramon J. Martinez to victory over the Minnesota Twins at Metrodome. The final score was 9-2. Even with the win, the Yankees have a dismal 32-64 record.

The Yankees got a big at-bat from shortstop Orlando Cabrera. For the game, Cabrera was 2 for 5 with 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs. In the top of the fifth, with the bases loaded, he stroked a 2-run single. His 98th hit of the season gave New York a 3-2 lead.

Minnesota manager Darren Fischbach said his team was "out of sync."
