Greg Bird 4, Twins 3: The Bird is the word

Have you not heard? It was our understanding that everyone had heard.

Greg Bird hit his first big league home run when he took Ervin Santana into the second deck. It was a two-run shot and it was all that the Yankees needed... for the first 5.2 innings. Nathan Eovaldi brought a perfect game into the sixth inning but the Twins knocked him around for three runs without an extra-base hit. Eovaldi had looked absolutely filthy until that point but quickly devolved into the pitcher we all know.
