Bronx, NY (My Sportsbook) - Derek Jeter scored on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 12th inning to lift New York to a 7-6 win over the Minnesota Twins in Game 2 of a best-of-five American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium. Jeter scored on Hideki Matsui's sacrifice fly to right field and the Yankees evened the series with Game 3 slated for Friday night at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Alex Rodriguez, who tied the game earlier in the 12th with a ground-rule double, finished 4-for-6 with a home run and three RBI. Gary Sheffield belted a two-run homer and Jeter added a solo shot for the Yankees, who rebounded from a 2-0 loss in the series opener on Tuesday. Torii Hunter homered in the top of the 12th and Justin Morneau drove in a pair of runs for Minnesota. Hunter ended with three hits and three runs scored. The Yankees will send righthander Kevin Brown to the mound in Game 3 versus fellow righty Carlos Silva. Yankee manager Joe Torre selected Brown over Orlando Hernandez, who has been battling a "dead arm" for the past couple of weeks.

Final Score: Boston 8, Anaheim 3

Anaheim, CA (My Sportsbook) - Manny Ramirez knocked in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh, Pedro Martinez pitched seven strong innings and the Boston Red Sox beat the Anaheim Angels, 8-3, to take a two-game lead in their American League Division Series. Martinez (1-0), who was making his first postseason appearance since Boston's devastating Game 7 loss to the Yankees in last year's ALCS, yielded three runs on six hits and two walks with six strikeouts. He had lost his final four starts of the regular season. Jason Varitek belted a two-run homer in the sixth inning that tied the game for the Red Sox, who rallied behind Curt Schilling for a 9-3 victory in Game 1 on Tuesday. Trot Nixon had an RBI single and Orlando Cabrera stroked a three-run double off Brendan Donnelly in the ninth to give Boston four insurance runs. Vladimir Guerrero stroked a two-run single for the Angels, who are appearing in the playoffs for the first time since winning the 2002 World Series. Bartolo Colon, who won 13 of his final 17 decisions during the regular season, got the start for Anaheim. He pitched six innings and gave up three runs on seven hits and three walks, fanning three. Colon was replaced by Francisco Rodriguez (0-1) to start the seventh, and Ramirez gave the Red Sox their 4-3 lead with a sacrifice fly to deep center field, which scored Johnny Damon. The series shifts to Boston for Game 3 on Friday afternoon.
