In the 7th inning, the Yankees had a two run lead, with Tom Gordon relieving Jon Lieber. In the 8th, however, the Yankee bullpen unraveled ever so slightly, allowing the Twins to tie the game. Mariano Rivera relieved Gordon and promptly blew the save, allowing two inherited runners to score. It could have been worse for the Yankees though. Corey Koskey doubled to left, but the ball bounced over the wall, preventing the go ahead run from scoring. As it was, the score remained tied at five a piece.

In Tuesday's game, Javier Vasquez took the mound against Brad Radke. Vasquez once again disappointed. He must be the most disappointing 13 game winner in the history of baseball. Gothamist can't remember ever watching him pitch a game and thinking to ourselves that he was unhittable. He racks up cheap wins and has an E.R.A of over 4 runs. When he was in Montreal, he once one of baseball's best kept secrets. Now in the Bronx, he can't seem to get it together. Now don't get us wrong, if there are two foxholes and Jeff Weaver is manning one and Vasquez the other, Gothamist is diving in with Vasquez. Vasquez, though has done little to impress Yankee fans.
