Gardner stares down Santana following go-ahead HR

Brad Penner / USA TODAY Sports

Brett Gardner didn't appreciate being on the receiving end of a pitch up and in from Ervin Santana, and he let the Minnesota Twins starter know it after he took him deep in the same at-bat.

After Santana threw a 95-mph fastball near Gardner's chin for ball three in the second inning, Gardner hammered the next offering over the wall down the right-field line to give the Yankees a 4-3 lead.

After dropping his bat, Gardner stared out to the mound at Santana before rounding the bases.
