So in the top of the seventh, Jorge Posada (the Yankees' 90-year-old catcher) drew a walk. This brought up Lance Berkman, the veteran Houston Astro who was picked up by the Yankees to play DH. Just as in the Texas-Tampa game, there was a controversy over whether Berkman should have been called out on strikes. Berkman was not called out, and hit the next pitch off the left-field wall for a double. Posada scored, giving the Yankees the lead. The Minnesota manager came out, argued with the umpire, and got tossed -- exactly the same sequence that took place today in Tampa.
The Twins will hope that they do better than the Rays. But Fangraphs now gives the Yankees a 75 percent chance of winning.
