====Game 4, [[October 9]]====
[[Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome]], [[Minneapolis, Minnesota]] <br>
Javier Vazquez went against Johan Santana, who pitched so well in Game 1. The Twins were on the board first with a sacrifice fly by Torii Hunter. But the Yankees would tie it on an RBI-single by Hideki Matsui in the 3rd. Another sac fly untied the score and gave the Twins the lead back in the 4th. Henry Blanco led the bottom of the 5th off with a homerun to make it 3-1 Twins. A 2-run double by Lew Ford extended the Twins' lead to 5-1 later in the inning. However, the Twins would squander the lead in the top of the 8th with Ricardo Rincon pitching in relief. Bernie Williams would single home Gary Sheffield after a single and wild pitch. With Matsui and Williams on base and one out, Ruben Sierra hit the game-tying 3-run homerun to make it 5 all. Joe Nathan would come on in relief and get the next two outs. But, once again, the Twins blew the lead and a sense of deja vu hung in the air. When the game moved to extra innings, Mariano Rivera came on and shut the Twins down. But the series would end when Alex Rodriguez doubled, stole third, and scored on Kyle Lohse's wild pitch in the top of the 11th. Rivera would get the win as he retired the Twins 1-2-3 to end the series in the bottom of the 11th.
