First Inning


The game began quietly for both teams, as neither managed to score in the opening innings. The Twins struggled initially with no hits in their first three innings. However, their defense held strong against the Yanks who also failed to capitalize on early opportunities.


Fourth Inning


In the fourth inning, Minnesota's offense began to stir when Royce Lewis contributed a crucial hit that set up an opportunity for Carlos Correa to drive in a run. This marked the first breakthrough for the Twinkies and put them ahead.


Sixth Inning


The sixth inning was pivotal for Minnesota as they extended their lead significantly. With four hits and three runs scored during this period, including contributions from Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach, they capitalized on Yankee errors and pitching lapses. The Twins' bullpen maintained pressure on New York's lineup throughout this segment.


Ninth Inning


Despite a late effort by New York's Aaron Judge who managed one run off Joe Ryan’s pitch earlier in the third inning, it wasn't enough to close down Minnesota’s lead. The final innings saw effective pitching from Justin Topa who secured his save without allowing further damage from Bronx Bombers’ batsmen.


Throughout this encounter at Yankee Stadium under night lights attended by over forty-four thousand fans; key performances were noted especially within pitching staff where Kody Funderburk showcased exceptional control contributing towards keeping opponents’ batting average low (.161).
