Fifth Inning


Despite a strong response from the Twinkies in their half of the fifth inning where they scored three runs, it wasn't enough to close the gap created by New York's earlier surge. The Yankees' bullpen held firm under pressure, maintaining control over Minnesota’s lineup.


Eighth and Ninth Innings


In later innings, both teams added runs; however, it was Cody Bellinger who sealed New York’s dominance with two more runs in a dynamic ninth inning performance. His contribution ensured that any hopes of a late comeback by Minnesota were firmly dashed.
