Minnesota Twins vs New York Yankees
Post Game Recap
Final Score: Twins 10 Yankees 4
The New York Yankees lost the rubber
game of their series at home against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday
afternoon in the final game before the All-Star break. The loss moves
the Yankees to (51-44), which is six games behind the Boston Red Sox
for first place in the AL East.
The Twins wasted little time getting to
Yankees Starter C.C. Sabathia, who got his eighth loss of the season.
A two-out rally in the second inning got the Twins a quick 2-0 lead
on the Yankees, as Jamie Carroll and Pedro Florimon both had RBI
singles. The third inning was tough for the Yankees on defense, which
didn’t help Sabathia, who should have been well out of the inning
before he allowed a three-run home run to Aaron Hicks, which was his
eighth of the season, making it a 5-0 game. A bad fourth inning would
end Sabathia's day, as the Twins got three more runs on Morneau
infield single, which scored Carroll, and then an error by Lyle
Overbay allowed to more runs to score. Sabathia went just four
innings allowing eight runs, three of which were earned on eight hits
and two walks.
