Our shining moments came in the 6th inning when Byron Buxton hit a massive homer to left center, and then Trevor Larnach followed up with a towering homer to right in the 7th inning, reducing the deficit to just 3-2. Our boys showed their resilience, and for a moment, it looked like the tide might shift.Yankees Pull Away
Alas, the Yankees capitalized on some key opportunities in the latter innings. A wild pitch allowed Ryan McMahon to advance and then score, while Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. added to the Yankee lead with a pair of RBI singles and a late homer. Despite our best defensive plays and pitching changes, the Yankees finished strong, holding us scoreless in the 9th.Final score: 6-2. We'll bounce back, Twins fans!
