Surprisingly, it was the Twins who drew first blood, winning Game One in New York by a score of 3-1. Johan Santana combined with four Minnesota relievers to limit the Yankees to just one ninth inning run, as the Twins jumped out to a 1-0 series lead. Torii Hunter delivered the game’s big blow with a two-run triple off Mike Mussina in the top of the sixth inning.
