Yankees Build 9-Run Cushion, Then Sweat Out 10–9 Win Over Twins

The result preserved New York’s slim edge for the top AL wild-card spot despite ongoing bullpen instability.

Overview

  • New York jumped ahead 10-1 through four innings on 16 hits as every starter recorded a hit, with Trent Grisham homering and driving in three.
  • Rookie Cam Schlittler labored with control, allowing four runs and five walks in 4 2/3 innings, while Twins starter Zebby Matthews gave up nine runs in three.
  • Minnesota clawed back with seven runs in the fifth and sixth, helped by Ryan Yarbrough’s four runs allowed in one-third of an inning, and Trevor Larnach’s deep drive that Aaron Judge caught at the wall.
  • David Bednar surrendered a ninth-inning solo homer to Larnach but secured his 25th save after scoreless work from Mark Leiter Jr. and Devin Williams.
  • Anthony Volpe returned from a cortisone shot to notch two hits and an RBI as the Yankees stayed five games behind Toronto and reopened a two-game lead for the top AL wild card.
