The Yankees avoided a sweep with a signature lineup performance in Wednesday’s 12-6 win over the Twins. Even so, Minnesota won the season series over New York for the first time in over two decades.
Simply put, the Bronx Bombers have looked like anything but since losing Giancarlo Stanton to the injured list. The already depleted lineup doesn’t have much power, especially in the 5-9 spots. New York’s strong pitching can only do so much and still left something to be desired. Even in Wednesday’s win.
Being in fourth place and seven games back in the AL East may seem daunting, but it’s still April.
