Brad McBride was instrumental in his team's 7-5 triumph over the Minnesota Twins. The left fielder was 1 for 1 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for the New York Yankees. Dan Ibarra notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 1.1 innings. His record now sits at 3-1. Brad Gray was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 29 of 30 save opportunities.

McBride had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 1-1 slider from Bobby Bass, he banged a grand slam home run to right, giving the Yankees a 7-3 lead. It was the 11th home run of the year for McBride.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said McBride, "one at-bat at a time."

New York has now won 3 straight, while the Twins have lost 3 in a row.
