Shortstop Grudzielanek scores 3 runs, Steals Spotlight in Minnesota Rout
1996 is shaping up to be a forgettable year for the New York Yankees.

Mark Grudzielanek was instrumental in his team's 12-3 triumph over the New York Yankees. The shortstop was 2-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4 for the Minnesota Twins. Minnesota is now riding a 3-game win streak.

In the top of the first, Darin Erstad pounced on a changeup from Anthony Young and hit a run-scoring double. It gave Minnesota a quick 1-0 lead.

"We did a lot of things right," said Grudzielanek.
