In his first game since July 7th A-Rod went 0 for 5 in the Yankees' 3-0 win over the Minnesota Twins today. A-Rod however told Joe Girardi that he "felt fine" when Girardi asked him how he was holding up during the 8th inning. Rodriguez recently under went surgery on his right knee and saw his first return to the third base position today. So A-Rod's return from the disabled list could be considered a success for the Yanks. Don't believe me? Well, let the man tell it himself, “For the most part, I liked the way I felt out there,” Rodriguez said. Girardi did say, “His timing looked a little off” though but Rodriguez insisted "he was free from the hesitation that had lingered during his most recent minor-league rehab games." Despite going hitless A-Rod did field the ball pretty well. In one instance bare handing an attempted bunt down the third base line stopping a runner at first base with a strong throw in the sixth inning. So it looks like we're on track for number 28, yeah?
