Baseball Betting Lines

05/26/2010 - Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andy Pettitte escaped a huge jam in the bottom of the eighth inning and Nick Swisher clubbed the go-ahead homer off Jon Rauch in the ninth, as the New York Yankees earned a 3-2 win over the Twins in Wednesday's regularly-scheduled contest at Target Field.

The teams also finished a suspended game from Tuesday with the Yankees holding on for a 1-0 win, thanks to Derek Jeter's sixth-inning home run. That game was halted by rain on Tuesday.

Pettitte (6-1) had four strikeouts and didn't walk a batter over his eight- inning effort. He gave up eight hits and two runs, improving to 11-5 lifetime against the Twins.

Swisher's eighth homer of the season went to right field off Jon Rauch (1-1) with two outs in the ninth inning.

Mariano Rivera retired the side in order on groundouts in the bottom half to earn his 10th save.

Francisco Liriano had seven strikeouts in his seven-inning performance. The southpaw allowed eight hits, two runs and a pair of walks.
