Yankees Hold Off Twins 10-9 After Nearly Blowing Nine-Run Lead

The win reopened a two-game cushion for the top AL wild card.

Overview

  • New York built a 10-1 cushion by the second inning and finished with 16 hits as every starter recorded one.
  • Anthony Volpe returned from a cortisone-shot layoff to go 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs.
  • Trent Grisham launched a three-run homer for his career-high 31st, and Ben Rice collected three hits.
  • Rookie Cam Schlittler allowed four runs with five walks in 4 2/3 innings before the bullpen yielded seven across the fifth and sixth, including four charged to Ryan Yarbrough in one-third of an inning.
  • Mark Leiter Jr. and Devin Williams steadied the game, and David Bednar secured his 25th save despite Trevor Larnach’s ninth-inning homer after Aaron Judge earlier caught Larnach’s deep drive on the warning track.
