Social media had a feast with the Twins scoring nine runs in the first inning of a game against the Yankees on Thursday night.
A total of thirteen batters came to the plate in a nine-run inning which resulted in an extremely short outing for New York starter Jhony Brito. The brilliant rookie, who came into the game with a solid 0.90 ERA, failed to make it out of the first inning as his ERA rose to a chilly 6.75.
Minnesota hit back-to-back-to-back home runs by Michael A. Taylor, Edouard Julien and Carlos Correa. The three-player explosion marked the first time Twins have hit three consecutive home runs since last season—ironically also against the Yankees.
