The first six innings of Saturday afternoon’s game did not go too well for the Yankees. Thankfully, the Twins are still the Twins, and the Yankees always manage to get the best of them. New York won Saturday’s game 7-6 despite trailing 4-0 at one point. It’s Saturday night, so let’s recap with bullet points:
- Two-Out Damage: The Twins tagged Michael Pineda for four runs (three earned) in 5.1 innings, and you’re never going to believe this, but all four runs scored with two outs. Pineda is usually excellent at closing out innings and limiting mistakes with two outs.
