Yankees 6, Twins 5: Mike Mussina worked his way around a Shelley Duncan error -- why is he playing again -- and the Yankees' bats worked their way around four runs from Bobby Abreu in a come-from-behind win in the Metrodome. After trailing, 4-1, after one inning, the Yankees rallied to take a 6-4 lead, thanks in large part to Abreu's two triples. Then Kyle Farnsworth did his thing by allowing a long home run. Good thing the Yankees have Mariano Rivera and his 0.38 ERA to pitch the ninth inning. Former reliever Joba Chamberlain will make his first big-league start Tuesday.

Orioles 6, Yankees 1: Darrell Rasner allowed only one run in six innings -- a homer to nemesis Nick Markakis in the sixth -- but left with the Yankees trailing, 1-0. By the time the seventh inning was over, the score was 6-0 and Rasner was assured of his first loss of the season. But that burden need not be shouldered by him alone. The Yankees' bats didn't do anything against Baltimore lefty Garrett Olson five days after destroying the lefty.

Yanks & Rays Not Waiting for Regular Season to Brawl
That didn't take long. Opening Day is still 2 1/2 weeks away, and the Yankees have already engaged in a bench-clearing brawl with the Devil Rays. The blood began to boil Saturday, when Tampa Bay's Elliot Johnson ran over Yankees minor-league catcher Franciso Cervelli in a collision at home plate. Cervelli got the worst of it and suffered a broken wrist. Both managers -- Joe Girardi for the Yankees and Joe Maddon for the Rays -- defended their players. Girardi said such a collision shouldn't have occurred in a spring training game. Maddon said it was "hardball" and a clean play, and that Cervelli shouldn't have blocked the plate if he didn't want to get run over.
