First Inning


The Yankees started strong with Aaron Judge making his presence felt early. Judge's performance was pivotal as he contributed significantly to the Yanks' offensive surge. The first inning saw a quick run from the Bronx Bombers setting the tone for what would be a dominant display.


Second Inning


In the second inning, Giancarlo Stanton showcased his hitting prowess by driving in three runs. This offensive burst put pressure on the Twinkies and widened the gap between both teams early on.


Fifth Inning


By mid-game, Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s consistent batting added another run to extend their lead further. His ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities was crucial for maintaining momentum against Minnesota's defense.


Seventh Inning


As we moved into later innings, Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt combined efforts in adding three more runs during this period. Their contributions ensured that any hopes of a comeback by Minnesota were effectively quashed.


Pitching Performance


On pitching duties, Carlos Rodón delivered an impressive performance with an ERA of just 1.286 over seven innings pitched. His control and precision limited Minnesota to only one hit throughout his time on mound duty while striking out five batters efficiently.


Meanwhile from bullpen support came Yerry De Los Santos who maintained zero earned runs across two innings pitched - showcasing why he remains integral within Yankees’ pitching lineup strategy moving forward into future games ahead!


Despite some initial promise shown by Byron Buxton’s opening hit which resulted in their sole scoreline contribution; ultimately it wasn’t enough against such formidable opposition faced tonight here inside iconic venue itself: Yankee Stadium!
