Minnesota Twins Justin Morneau(notes) follows through on fifth inning single off New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte(notes) in the baseball game at Yankee Stadium in New York, Monday, May 18, 2009.<br /><br />Morneau had four hits in the game.

The Yankees got started early, instead of waiting for their final swing.
