Yanks Destroy Twins in Opener

ARod hit #21 in the first and the Yanks sort of cruised from there behind Sidney Ponson, who pitched 5.2 innings of 3 run ball before giving away to Edwar who k'd us out of the top of the 6th. Cano and Jeter also homered as the whole team contributed quality at bats in their 12-4 romp over the Twins. Johnny Damon was back and that ought to help as Jorge Posada is back on the DL and could be gone for the season. David Robertson pitched a 1-2-3 7th and the re-worked LaTroy Hawkins pitched a serviceable 1 run 8th and 9th. Yanks have to keep grinding like this. Go Yanks!
