Yankees Win 6-2 Over Twins Behind Warren’s 6⅔ Strong Innings

Will Warren pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs and three hits with seven strikeouts and no walks, becoming the first New York Yankees starter in a month to get an out in the seventh inning during a 6-2 win over the Minnesota Twins. The Yankees hit four home runs in the game, including solo shots by Cody Bellinger, Giancarlo Stanton, and Ben Rice, with Stanton and Rice's homers coming back-to-back in the third inning. This marked the Yankees' 23rd win in their last 30 regular-season meetings with Minnesota and their first series opener win since the All-Star break. Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach homered for the Twins, with Larnach's homer coming in the seventh inning when Warren was one strike away from finishing that inning. Jazz Chisholm Jr. also contributed a home run for the Yankees in the eighth inning, while the Twins' starter, Matthews, allowed three runs and tied a career high by giving up three homers. Carlos Rodón is set to start for the Yankees in the next game, with the Twins expected to use a bullpen game.
