Twins Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Yankees
The Minnesota Twins defeated the New York Yankees, 7-6, at Yankee Stadium today. Leading the charge for Minnesota was first baseman Freddie Freeman. He went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Alex Meyer picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-1. Brad Brach was tagged with the loss. Minnesota is still hoping to get on a roll. The win is just their 8th in 21 games.

The Twins got a big at-bat from designated hitter Kendrys Morales. For the game, Morales was 2 for 5 with a double. He drove in 2 runs. In the top of the ninth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 4th double of the season gave Minnesota a 7-6 lead.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said New York manager Temp GM. "The effort was great."
