Yankees successfully best Twins in a crucial game, securing a desirable victory that alleviates their recent struggles.
The New York Yankees added another win to their impressive record against the Minnesota Twins, securing a 6-2 victory in their latest encounter.
In a game that was a gift from the schedule makers, the Yankees showcased their dominance over the Twins, never threatening again in the remaining innings. Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge added run-scoring singles in the seventh inning, while Trevor Larnach hit a home run for the Twins in the same inning.
The game started with a bang, with Cody Bellinger, Ben Rice, and Giancarlo Stanton all hitting home runs in the first three innings. However, it was Aaron Judge who came through with a key hit late after struggling since coming off the IL.
Will Warren pitched 6 2/3 strong innings in the game, allowing only two solo homers. Byron Buxton scored the Twins' first run with a home run in the sixth inning, marking Warren's 65th pitch.
Luke Weaver replaced Warren in the seventh inning. The Yankees have won eight straight games against the Twins, a remarkable run that dates back to 2015. In fact, at their home stadium, the Yankees have a better win-loss record against the Twins, with 30 wins and only 5 losses since 2015.
Warren's recent form has been impressive, with the pitcher completing six innings with two earned runs or fewer in six of his past seven starts. His ERA in the mentioned span stands at 2.84.
With two more games against the Twins remaining, the Yankees have a soft portion of the schedule coming up, which they need to take advantage of to improve their record. The team entered the game 11 games under .500 since June 12.
The Yankees' latest win was their largest in a victory since an 11-0 rout of the Cubs on July 11.
