Gibson can answer Yanks' statement in finale

The Twins looked poised for a second victory over the Yankees in as many nights on Saturday, holding a five-run lead entering the seventh inning, but the Yankees clawed their way back, thanks in large part to Alex Rodriguez, whose third homer of the night was one of two hit off Twins closer Glen Perkins in the ninth inning. On Sunday at 1:10 p.m. CT, the two clubs -- both currently in line to reach the postseason -- will face off in the rubber match at Target Field, where the Yankees have historically played well. New York is 72-36 against the Twins since 2000 and will send Nathan Eovaldi to the mound looking to take the series.
