The Yankees are on a seven-game winning streak that they will try to extend to eight with a sweep of the Twins on Thursday night. New York overpowered Minnesota in a 9-5 win on Wednesday, getting out to an early lead from which the Twins couldn’t recover.
Anthony Volpe extended his on-base streak to 31 straight games with a base hit to get the ball rolling for New York. Aaron Judge brought him home with an RBI ground out, followed by an RBI single for Giancarlo Stanton and a two-run ground-rule double from Gleyber Torres in a dominant first inning for New York.
The Yankees added another four runs in fifth inning with a bases-clearing triple — his first since 2019 —and Alex Verdugo added a sacrifice fly to give the Yankees an 8-0 lead. The Twins were able to accumulate five runs off Yankees’ relievers later in the game, but could not regain all the ground already lost.
