Third Inning


Byron Buxton and his teammates found themselves struggling to connect offensively through the initial innings. It wasn't until Zebby Matthews took to pitching that some stability was restored for Minnesota's defense. However, in the third inning, New York extended their lead by adding two more runs from two hits, putting pressure on Minnesota's bullpen.


Sixth Inning


The sixth inning saw a glimmer of hope for the Twins as Trevor Larnach smashed a home run to finally put them on the scoreboard. This solo shot was one of only three hits managed by Minnesota throughout nine innings. Despite this effort, New York maintained control with solid pitching and defensive plays.


Seventh Inning


In response to Larnach’s homerun, New York answered back in their half of the seventh inning with two additional runs from three hits against Brooks Kriske's relief efforts. The Bronx Bombers showcased their depth as they continued to widen their lead over Minnesota.


Ninth Inning


As time ran out in regulation play during this late-night matchup, Ryan Jeffers added another home run for Minnesota in hopes of sparking a comeback rally; however it proved too little too late as they fell short against New York’s consistent offense which sealed victory after nine innings played out fully resulting into final scoreline: 6-2 favoring Yankees over visiting team -Twins vs Yankees final score being recorded officially now!
