The New York Yankees have taken a 2-0 series lead with a 5-2 victory against the Twins on Thursday. The Yankees swept the Twins in three games during the 2009 ALDS and are now a Game 3 win away from repeating the feat. Andy Pettitte settled down after giving up a second inning run on a Danny Valencia sacrifice fly that scored Delmon Young, with his only other mistake coming on an Orlando Hudson homer in the sixth that tied the game at two. New York scored its first two runs in the fourth and fifth, coming on a sacrifice fly from Alex Rodriguez that scored Curtis Granderson and a solo homer from Lance Berkman. Berkman helped the Yankees regain the lead in the seventh when he doubled home Jorge Posada. A single from Derek Jeter eventually scored Berkman and the Yankees gave Mariano Rivera one extra run to work with in the ninth when Brett Garnder scored on a single from Granderson. Carl Pavano gave up 10 hits and four earned runs over 6.0+ innings of work for the Twins.
