The last several games have not been great ones for the Yankees. Thanks to a slump from the offense, they’ve now lost four of their last five contests, only scoring eight runs in the process. The last two have come to the Twins, dooming the Yankees to their first season series loss to Minnesota since 2001. This afternoon, they need a win to avoid their first sweep of the season.
For today’s matinee, the Yankees will send Domingo Germán to the hill. In his most recent start, Germán allowed four runs — including two home runs — in six innings against the Blue Jays.
