MINNEAPOLIS—Be it the majestic views of Target Field or that dusty old hornets’ nest they called the Metrodome, it just doesn’t seem to matter.The New York Yankees simply own the Minnesota Twins in the playoffs.Mark Teixeira hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the seventh inning and the Yankees rallied to a 6-4 victory Wednesday night in Game 1 of the AL Division Series, the Twins’ 10th consecutive postseason loss.Yankees ace CC Sabathia labored, but reliever David Robertson fanned Jim Thome in a key spot and Mariano Rivera got the final four outs to close another win for the defending World Series champions. The Yankees rallied from a 3-0 deficit against Francisco Liriano and improved to 10-2 against the Twins in the playoffs since 2003.Even a blown call by the umpires — shades of the previoius two postseasons — that went against the Yankees with two outs in the bottom of the ninth didn’t hurt them.Michael Cuddyer had a home run, double and two RBI for the Twins, who played their first outdoor postseason game in Minnesota since 1970. They were hoping a move from the shabby Dome outdoors to gorgeous Target Field would turn their fortunes around, but it was more of the same against the mighty Yankees.Game 2 will be Thursday night. Carl Pavano will pitch for the Twins against Andy Pettitte. Jorge Posada had two hits and RBI and UIC Alum Curtis Granderson added a two-run triple for New York, which has never won a postseason series as a wild card.Rivera recorded his 40th career postseason saves in 45 chances, but had to work a little harder than he planned. Replays showed Yankees right fielder Greg Golson — inserted that inning for defensive purposes — caught Delmon Young’s sinking liner for what should’ve been the final out.But umpire Chris Guccione ruled that he trapped it and the call stood after the umpires huddled. Manager Joe Girardi came out to argue, but to no avail.In fact, the Yankees benefited against the Twins in the playoffs last year when a ball hit by Joe Mauer that clearly landed fair was called foul.This time, the missed call brought Thome to the plate as the potential tying run. Rivera retired the slugger on a popup to third baseman Alex Rodriguez to end the game.Rivera came into the game in the eighth with runners at second and third and retired Denard Span on a grounder to preserve a two-run edge.Liriano gave up four runs on six hits with seven strikeouts and three walks in 5 2/3 innings for the Twins.The Dominican lefty breezed through the first five innings of his first career postseason start, allowing only four hits as the Twins jumped out to the early lead.Cuddyer crushed a two-run homer into the trees in center field in the second inning and Hudson scored on a passed ball in the third to make it 3-0, as more than 42,000 at jam-packed Target Field leaped to their feet.But these power-packed Yankees, who swept the Twins in the ALDS last season en route to their 27th title, don’t rattle so easily.During the regular season, the Yankees overcame deficits of three runs or more to win seven times, and led the majors with 48 come-from-behind victories. Seven of their 11 victories in the postseason last year came after they fell behind, including all three against the Twins.Their latest started in the sixth against Liriano who retired 10 in a row before Teixeira doubled down the left-field line. Liriano walked Rodriguez and Robinson Cano and Posada followed with RBI singles to make it 3-2.Rather than go to Jose Mijares in the bullpen, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire stuck with Liriano against the lefty Granderson, who came into the game hitting only .234 in 158 at-bats against lefties.Before the game, Girardi was asked about going with Granderson, who was 4 for 22 against Liriano. The center fielder made Girardi look pretty smart, hitting a triple off the scoreboard in right-center field to give the Yankees a 4-3 lead.Sabathia gave it right back in the bottom of the inning, walking rookie Danny Valencia with two outs and the bases loaded to tie the game. But the big lefty — one of the leading contenders for the AL Cy Young award — fanned J.J. Hardy to escape the jam.Sabathia gave up four runs — three earned — on five hits with five strikeouts and three walks. Teixeira came up with one on and one out in the seventh to face Jesse Crain, who has been the Twins’ best reliever over the second half of the season. But Teixeira sent a slider soaring just inside the right-field foul pole, completely deflating the juiced home crowd.It’s not the first time Teixeira has trampled the Twins’ hearts. His 11th-inning home run in Game 2 last year gave the Yankees a 4-3 victory and got them rolling toward the sweep.The Twins had a chance in the seventh, when Thome came to the plate with two runners on and two outs. But Robertson got him to chase a breaking ball in the dirt to end the inning.In the previous four years, 15 of 16 teams to win first-round openers have gone on to advance to the league championship series. The lone exception was the 2006 Detroit Tigers, who lost the opener at Yankee Stadium and then won three in a row.No team has lost a first-round opener at home and still advanced since the 2005 Los Angeles Angels, who beat the Yankees in five games.
