Miscues aplenty sting Twins in finale vs. Bucs

MINNEAPOLIS -- celebrated the fifth three-homer game of his career, including a game-tying drive in the ninth inning, and crushed a go-ahead three-run shot as the Yankees rallied for an 8-5 victory over Glen Perkins and the Twins on Saturday night at Target Field.

Rodriguez hit a solo homer in the fourth and a two-run drive in the seventh off Minnesota starter Tommy Milone before hitting a line drive over the center-field wall on the first pitch he saw from Perkins in the ninth, giving him 23 homers in this improbable comeback campaign.
