Teixeira walk-off HR lifts Yanks in 11
By: Mike Petraglia

Mark Teixeira's home run off the top of the left field wall to begin the bottom of the 11th inning gave the New York Yankees a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins and a 2-0 lead in their best-of-five American League Division Series. Alex Rodriguez forced extra innings with a two-run homer off closer Joe Nathan in the bottom of the ninth, tying the game 3-3. The game featured a controversial call in the top of the 11th when Joe Mauer's drive down the left field line was ruled foul by umpire Phil Cuzzi but replays showed it clearly landed in fair territory. The Twins went on to load the bases with none out but couldn't score. For more on the playoffs, visit the Full Count blog.

Rivers: KG has 'zero knee pain'
By: Jessica Camerato

Before Friday's preseason game against the New York Knicks, Doc Rivers explained the current state of Kevin Garnett's recovery from knee surgery. He noted that while he is cautiously limiting Garnett's playing time, he hopes to keep him on the court for more consecutive minutes. 

"He's healthy. He has zero knee pain, but he does have shin splints and aches and all that stuff," he said. "So you've got to watch that, especially during preseason. What I'm trying to [do is get] him back to playing normal minutes in a game, and he hasn't done that since he's gone out. And that's been a long time. So what we're trying to do, and I thought actually he didn't play enough minutes in some ways in the first game in a row, and so we're going to try to correct that and then build from there."

Red Sox hope to use Lester in Game 4
By: Rob Bradford

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Terry Francona said prior to Game 2 of the American League Division Series that the Red Sox would like to bring Jon Lester back for Game 4, but it would depend on the pitcher's condition and how the lefty feels on Saturday. Lester, who was scheduled to throw a bullpen session at Fenway Park on Saturday, threw 100 pitches in his Game 1 outing. Game 4 is scheduled to be played Monday, if necessary. Daisuke Matsuzaka still will be available out of the bullpen.

 

Francona also discussed his relationship with Sox catcher Jason Varitek, and how he has gone about managing the team captain's diminished playing time.

 

"He was telling me not to tip-toe around him. ... That really helped me," said Francona. "He's been terrific. The 'C' on his chest, he's earned it. He's not unearned it."

 

Angels manager Mike Scioscia, meanwhile, took time to praise Varitek, saying that...
