MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jake Odorizzi’s no-hit bid was broken up when Greg Bird hit a run-scoring double with one out in the eighth inning, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Yankees 3-1 Wednesday night to take two of three from New York.
The Yankees’ lead over Oakland for the AL’s top wild card was cut to one game as they completed a 4-5 trip.
Odorizzi, his arm slot fluctuating, walked Like Voit before Bird lined the next pitch deep into the left-center gap. Odorizzi was immediately removed from the game by Twins manager Paul Molitor and tipped his cap to the crowd as he walked off the field to a standing ovation.
