NEW YORK — The weather felt a little like October in the Bronx for the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Twins. But the Yankees lineup felt like it was mid-March and the teams were playing a spring training game.
Aaron Judge (who hit his 55th home run), Gleyber Torres and Isiah Kiner-Falefa were the only starters in the order, and Kiner-Falefa was playing third base with Josh Donaldson on the paternity list.
Recently promoted Ronald Guzman and Miguel Andujar were 4-5 in the lineup and combined to go 0-for-9 with six strikeouts. Rookies Oswaldo Cabrera, Estevan Florial and Oswald Peraza started, as did backup catcher Kyle Higashioka.
