Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Bobby Abreu went 2-for-5 with two runs batted in, including the go-ahead run in the 12th inning, as the New York Yankees edged the Minnesota Twins, 7-6, in the second of a four-game series from the Metrodome.

Johnny Damon had a one-out single in the 12th inning, and Derek Jeter put runners on the corners with another base-hit. Abreu put the Yankees on top with an RBI single.

Mariano Rivera took the hill for the Yanks in the home 12th and got Delmon Young to go down swinging. Mike Lamb grounded out and Nick Punto lined out to end the game.

Alex Rodriguez also had two RBI for the Yankees, who have won three in a row and eight of their last 10. Jose Molina and Melky Cabrera each added an RBI in the win.

Chien-Ming Wang started for N.Y. and went 5 1/3 innings, giving up five runs on nine hits for the no-decision. Ross Ohlendorf (1-1) got the win as he threw a scoreless 10th and 11th and Rivera earned his 15th save of the year with a perfect 12th. Rivera has yet to give up a run this season in a save situation.

Michael Cuddyer went 2-for-6 and hit the game-tying homer in the seventh inning for the Twins, who have dropped two in a row. Lamb and Young each recorded three hits in defeat.

Twins starter Boof Bonser went five innings and gave up five runs -- two earned -- on five hits. Juan Rincon (2-2) absorbed the loss as he was touched for Abreu's run in the 12th.

The Twins made it 1-0 in the first inning. Alexi Casilla worked a one-out walk and stole second. Two batters later, Justin Morneau singled to left to score Casilla.

Minnesota tacked on another run in the second. Young clubbed a one-out double and Lamb's base hit put runners on the corners. Punto plated Young with a sacrifice fly to right.

"It's hard when you battle a tough team like that for nine innings," Young said. "We came out, scored some runs; they have a powerful offense to keep them in the game."

The Yanks rallied in the third. Damon worked a two-out walk and stole second base. Jeter then made it first and third as he reached on a throwing error by Punto. Abreu cracked a double to left field which plated Damon and left both runners in scoring position. Rodriguez blasted a two-run single just over the glove of a leaping Punto, and New York was leading 3-2.

Casilla led-off the third inning with a walk, and Joe Mauer followed with a bunt single. Morneau flied out to left, but Cuddyer finagled an RBI single to center, and the game was tied at three.

Hideki Matsui led-off the sixth inning with a walk and Jason Giambi followed with a single. Jesse Crain was then called on in relief of Bonser and got Robinson Cano to pop out. Jose Molina, though, belted an RBI-double to right field. Cabrera offered a sac fly to right, allowing Giambi to cross home plate. Damon kept it going with a grounder just out of the reach of a diving Lamb to plate Molina, and the Yankees were up 6-3.

"This is where we need to be," Damon said. "We're trying to put the mistakes on the other team."

The Twins rallied in the home sixth. Young led-off with a single and two batters later, Punto added another single. The runners crafted a double steal and Carlos Gomez hit an RBI-single to right, forcing Wang from the game in favor of Edwar Ramirez. Casilla then grounded into a force out, with Gomez out at second, but Jeter botched the throw back to first and Punto scored.

Cuddyer's solo shot off Ramirez in the seventh tied the game at six.

Neither team mustered another run, and the game headed for extra innings.
