Yankees go for fifth straight win vs. Twins

Jul 22, 2008 - 10:10 AM Minnesota (55-44) at NY Yankees (54-45) 7:05 pm EDT

BRONX, New York (Ticker) -- The New York Yankees' inconsistent offense has been looking to gain momentum all season long.

They will attempt to build off Monday's 12-run outburst when they take on the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday.

New York had scored four runs or less in three of their last four entering Monday night, but rattled off 16 hits en route to their fourth consecutive win since the All-Star break.

Darrell Rasner (5-7, 4.97) gets the start for the Yankees Tuesday. The righthander had lost three consecutive decisions before earning the win on July 12 against Toronto, allowing four runs - three earned - on seven hits over five innings.

The Twins will counter with Kevin Slowey (6-6, 4.26), who has won his last four decisions. However, last time out Slowey allowed six runs on nine hits over 3 2/3 innings in a 7-6 Minnesota victory over Detroit on July 10.

Minnesota is 23-9 over its last 32 to climb within a half-game of the first-place Chicago White Sox (55-43) in the AL Central.
