Yankees 7, Twins 2: Big seventh inning gives Yankees ninth straight win over Twins

Can the Yankees play the Twins every day? Pretty please? The Yankees opened this three-game series in Minnesota with a 7-2 win Monday night. Including the 2017 AL Wild Card Game, the Yankees have won their last nine games against the Twins, outscoring them 66-23. Love those Twins.

The first five innings were a real slog, offensively. The Yankees had men on base every inning against Kyle Gibson, yet they couldn’t get the proverbial Big Hit. Andrew McCutchen (walk) and Aaron Hicks (single) reached base to start the first inning, then a Miguel Andujar double play and a Giancarlo Stanton strikeout followed.
