Game 5 Sabathia (15-10 2..93) vs Lilly (7-1 3.15)
 
Backs against the wall, the Twins would again turn to craft veteran Ted Lilly.  
Lilly was absolutely brilliant, confounding A's hitters by mixing his pitches and 
changing speeds.  The A's had no answer for Lilly, as he tossed a CG shutout, 
scattering 4 hits over 9 innings, with 3 K and 0 BB.  Justin Ruggaino homered 
and Jeff Mathis had 2 hits, as Oaklands bats were silenced in Game 5.
 
Final  Minnesota 4 Oakland 0 (Oakland leads 3-2)
