Minnesota TwinsvsNew York Yankees
MIN 11/NYY 4
Things to say
The Twins beat the Yankees 11-4 at Yankee Stadium on getaway day.
01
opener
Twins jumped on them early and never looked back. Eleven runs in the Bronx on the Fourth, that's a statement. Yankees just never got into a rhythm.
02
key player
Minnesota's heart of the order was locked in all afternoon. Couple guys left the yard and the whole lineup was seeing it deep. That's how you put up double digits on the road.
03
hot take
That Yankees bullpen is a problem. Once the starter was out it was batting practice. They're not winning in October pitching like that.
04
deep cut
The Twins worked counts all day, OBP was ugly for New York. And the manager went to the pen way too early, you could see it turn right there.
05
exit
Anyway, series rolls on tomorrow, let's see if the Yankees can steal one back before they leave town.
The recap
Getaway day at the Stadium and the Twins turned it into a laugher, hanging 11 on the Yankees to steal this one 11-4. The bats got going early and never let up, working the count and stacking crooked numbers once they got into the New York bullpen.
Whatever the Yankee starter had, the heart of Minnesota's order figured it out fast and left the yard enough to blow it open. Not much drama here—Minnesota jumped on them and cruised.
