NEW YORK — Just as the Yankees were settling back in the comfortable confines of home, they lost yet another player due to injury. Losing James Paxton to a knee injury after just three innings, New York relied on their bullpen to carry them to a vital 6-3 victory, as they open a long home stand.
Jonathan Holder set the tone with two scoreless frames and was also credited with the win. Adam Ottavino and Tommy Kahnle also pitched clean innings, while Aroldis Chapman shut down the Twins in the ninth for his sixth save of 2019.
