Aaron Small is doing his part to keep the New York Yankees' creaky rotation patched together. Small won his second straight start since the Yankees brought him up from the minors and Gary Sheffield drove in four runs, leading New York over the Minnesota Twins 6-3 Thursday.

Small (2-0) hadn't started a major league game since 1996 before last week, when the 34-year-old right-hander helped New York to an 8-4 victory at Texas in his Yankees' debut -- his first big league win in seven years.
