The Yankees beat the Twins earlier today — some things never change, eh? — by the score of 6-4. Ivan Nova had a rocky outing, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out two. Nova told Bryan Hoch he threw some cutters, a pitch he hasn’t used since before his Tommy John surgery. Bryan Mitchell came out of the bullpen and retired all eight men he faced.
Chase Headley was the only regular with a hit, though the Yankees didn’t send many big names to Fort Myers.
