Bronx Bombers home run alert Bird Man

Keeping tabs on every home run for the New York Yankees this season. The Greg Bird show was in full force, as the Bombers swept the Minnesota Twins with a 4-3 matinee victory. Bird clocked his first and second career home runs and provided all the punch the Yanks needed. While you hate to be missing a guy with 31 home runs, it sure is fun to see what a kid like Bird can do.

During a scoreless fourth, Bird jump started the New York offense, launching a two-run homer to right, off Ervin Santana. Bird's first career home run staked the Yankees to a 2-0 advantage.
