The Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins, 6-2, on Monday night to win for the third time in their last five games. Four different New York batters hit home runs with the New York Post noting on the back page that the team was benefited as "usual punching bag Twins arrive to fix their woes."
Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-4 at the plate with a home run. He also singled in the first inning. A Ben Rice single then advanced him to second base, but being a heads-up runner he saw centerfielder Byron Buxton fumble the ball in center and took third.
