Yankee's pitcher Warren delivers 6.3 impressive innings, securing a 6-2 victory over the Twins.
In a thrilling match-up on August 11, 2025, the New York Yankees emerged victorious against the Minnesota Twins, winning 6-2. The game was marked by impressive performances from several players, including Will Warren, who made history as the first Yankees starting pitcher to get an out in the seventh inning in a month.
Warren's outing was nothing short of remarkable. He pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing just three hits and two runs. His solid performance was highlighted by seven strikeouts and no walks, restricting the Twins' offense and going deep into the game. This notable milestone for the Yankees' starting rotation came after a month-long stretch without a starter finishing the sixth inning.
The Yankees' offense also contributed significantly to the win. Cody Bellinger, Giancarlo Stanton, and Ben Rice all homered in the game, with Stanton's home run being his first when playing the field since Aug. 3, 2023 against Houston. The Yankees are currently 10-3 when they homer at least four times in a game this year.
Luke Weaver and David Bednar finished off the game for the Yankees, ensuring a well-deserved victory. This win marked the Yankees' 23rd win in their last 30 regular-season meetings with Minnesota.
The Twins, on the other hand, are expected to use a bullpen game in their next match, while Nestor Cortes Jr. and the Yankees' bullpen are set to start. Domingo Rodríguez (11-7, 3.35 ERA) will be the starting pitcher for the Yankees on Tuesday night.
Zebby Matthews, the starting pitcher for the Twins in this game, allowed 3 runs and 6 hits in 5 2/3 innings. Matthews also struck out 9 batters in the game, tying a career high, but unfortunately, he also allowed 3 homers. Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered for the Twins in the eighth inning.
The Yankees will aim to continue their winning streak in their next game, while the Twins will look to regroup and mount a comeback. The upcoming match promises to be an exciting one, with both teams eager to prove their mettle.
