Mark Feinsand: Asked whether he assumes Sabathia is done for this season, Girardi said: "I think that's fair to say."

Sounds like micro-fracture surgery is a very real possibility.

Dozier gets one right back with a solo homer leading off the bottom half of the inning.

Whitley struggles through a 27-pitch first inning but strands two, allowing just the one run.

And the Yankees get the run back in the second as Cervelli scores on a Ryan sac fly.

Twins catch a break there, Roberts doubles into the left-field corner but the ball jumped into the crowd. Gardner would've scored easily from 1st.
