Minnesota TwinsvsNew York Yankees
MIN 2/NYY 5
Things to say
The Yankees beat the Twins 5-2 at home in the Bronx.
01
opener
Yankees took care of business, 5-2 over the Twins. Never really felt in doubt at home. Bronx crowd got what they wanted.
02
key player
Heads up — I caught the final but not the full box, so I'm not going to fake a stat line. Yankees' heart of the order did enough damage to put it away.
03
hot take
Twins scoring two in a getaway day like this? That offense goes quiet way too often on the road.
04
deep cut
Five-two at Yankee Stadium usually means somebody left one over the plate and it left the yard. Short porch in right does its thing.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Twins can bounce back next series — long season, they've got time.
The recap
Yankees handled the Twins 5-2 at the Stadium and never really felt threatened once they got the lead. New York got the heart of the order going early and tacked on enough to let the starter settle into his stuff and work deep.
Minnesota's two runs came and went without much noise, and the bullpen slammed the door to lock it up. Clean, businesslike win on a getaway day, and the Bombers move to 49-38.
