Watch Minnesota Twins vs New York Yankee Live Online

Watch Minnesota Twins vs New York Yankee Live Online - It's a series that's been built as David vs. Goliath, with the Twins sitting as the huge underdog against the Yankees.

That seemed to be epitomized by the pitching matchup in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Wednesday, with Twins rookie left-hander Brian Duensing facing off against Yankees ace CC Sabathia.

While Duensing held his own for the early part of the contest, New York slowly got to the southpaw as it tagged him for five runs over 4 2/3 innings in a 7-2 Minnesota loss at Yankee Stadium.

One night after celebrating perhaps the greatest regular-season win in Metrodome history to catapult them into the playoffs, the Twins appeared to come out with the same energy and intensity early on in Game 1.

Duensing looked solid over his first two innings, yielding just a leadoff single to Derek Jeter in the first before retiring seven straight batters.

Watch Tampa Bay Rays vs New York Yankees Live Online - After his last start, Joba Chamberlain couldn't help but take a few moments to laugh at the clubhouse television screens, which were showing him launch into a not-so-graceful belly flop across the infield at Cleveland's Progressive Field.

The resulting double play that came of that effort, Chamberlain would gladly stow away for future reference. But the rest of his eight-inning performance, the first of his big league career, wouldn't help him his next time out against the Rays, so the right-hander said that page would be turned immediately.

With their presumed ace out, St. Louis must get more consistency from the rest of its staff.Pineiro (2-0, 5.40 ERA) pitched solidly at home to beat Houston on April 10, but struggled on the road in a 12-7 win over Arizona last Wednesday. The right-hander yielded five runs and nine hits in five innings, and said he had trouble commanding his sinker.

Watch Marlins vs Pirates Live Online - Preview

Watch Marlins vs Pirates Live Online The Pittsburgh Pirates have taken the first two games of their series with the red-hot Florida Marlins thanks to outstanding performances from their fourth and fifth starters.

They should feel pretty good about their chances for a sweep with Paul Maholm on the hill.Maholm has a sub-1.00 ERA through three starts, and Wednesday afternoon he'll look for his third consecutive win as the Pirates try to complete their first three-game sweep of the visiting Marlins in nearly four years.Even more surprising than Florida getting off to such an impressive start is the fact that Pittsburgh (8-6), which in 2008 sported an NL-worst 5.08 ERA, is leading the NL with a 3.00 ERA through 14 games.

The Pirates' young starting staff was the biggest culprit in a 95-loss 2008 season, posting a 5.36 ERA and a major-league low 33 wins. But new pitching coach Joe Kerrigan seems to be making quite a difference. Pittsburgh's starters already have seven wins and a 2.79 ERA, allowing just five homers in 81 innings.The Marlins (11-3) came into PNC Park averaging 6.4 runs, but the Pirates' fourth and fifth starters have shut them down.

Ross Ohlendorf pitched seven innings of two-hit ball Monday in Pittsburgh's 8-0 win, then Jeff Karstens allowed a run and three hits over six innings in a 3-2 victory Tuesday, hours after the Pirates found out catcher Ryan Doumit would miss eight-to-10 weeks with a wrist injury."A lot of people doubted us, but we all believe in ourselves and we all believe in each other," Karstens said of the Pirates' staff. "That's all that matters right now.


Enough can't be said for (Kerrigan); we're more prepared than any team in the league."As the Pirates try to complete their first sweep of the Marlins since May 30-June 1, 2005, at PNC, they'll have their No. 1 pitcher on the mound. Maholm (2-0, 0.87 ERA) has yielded just two earned runs in 20 2-3 innings, and he scattered four hits and three walks in seven innings Friday in a 3-0 win against Atlanta.Still, both Maholm and his manager think he can be better."Paul did a good job tonight," manager John Russell said. "He wasn't as sharp, but he found a way to get outs. He's got enough confidence in himself that's he capable of being OK even when things aren't going right."

Want to Watch MLB Live Online no matter where you are in the world? As a die-hard MLB fan myself, I cannot afford to miss the excitement of Red Sox in actions, either at home or office. However, my local cable/satellite does not broadcast any of the Live mlb games and I'm not satisfied with delayed broadcast.
