The big news out of the Twins today was that Josh Willingham has been added to the 15-day Disabled List with a bum knee, and that youngster Aaron Hicks has been reinstated from his rehab stint in Triple-A to fill Hammer’s roster spot. Hicks is starting in centerfield and hitting 8th tonight, but don’t worry Twins fans, Clete Thomas is still available off the bench.

Well, that went about how Twins/Yankees games go. The Twins perform well for a while, and then they get Yankee’d. Twins will need to win back to back games now just to earn a split. Good luck, Twinkies!
