Game 190 - New York Yankees at Minnesota Twins

July 25 at Target Field in Minneapolis, MN
YES Network

This was probably my favorite Yankees game of the last three years. Alex Rodriguez homered three times, including the tying solo shot off Glen Perkins in the top of the ninth, and later in the inning backup catcher J.R. Murphy hit an opposite field, three-run home run off Perkins to give the Yankees an 8-5 victory.

Oh, and New York trailed 5-0 early and 5-1 heading into the seventh. And it was Murphy's first home run of the season. What a win.

After seeing it live, I then watched the Murphy home run seven times later in the evening/early morning. I may have danced after a few of the replays. I call it the J.R. Murphy Dance.

I'm going to watch it several dozen more times over what could be several weeks, so let's keep a running count.

Murphy HR - total: 19

Watched live: 1

Replays:

July 25-26: 7
July 27: 4 (afternoon), 3 (evening/pre-game for Monday's game)
July 28: 2 (evening)
August 2: 2 (afternoon)
