The Yankees evened this series at a game apiece on Tuesday night in a wild 14-12 victory in 10 innings as -119 road favorites.

Scoring runs has not been an issue for New York’s lineup all season long with an average of 5.8 runs a game. The Yankees’ pitching staff slips to sixth in the AL with a team ERA of 4.09. They will turn to JA Happ as their starter for Wednesday’s rubber match. The left hander is 8-5 this season with a 4.86 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. He held Colorado to two earned runs on eight hits in five innings his last time out.
Minnesota slipped to 4-6 over its last 10 games with Tuesday’s loss. It is 61-39 through its first 100 games but the lead over Cleveland in the AL Central is down to just three games.
