Twins Win at New York, 5-3
|
The Minnesota Twins trumped the New York Yankees, 5-3, at Yankee Stadium. Minnesota right fielder Whit Merrifield was terrific. He was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Jameson Taillon was the winner. Over 8 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 6 hits, with 1 walk and 2 strikeouts. Nick Anderson converted his 10th save in 11 tries.
Minnesota grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Merrifield, who finished 3rd in the AL in batting average with .316 last year, hit a 3-run home run. His 3rd home run of the season put the Twins out in front, 5-2.
"It feels good to get this one," Merrifield told the Minnesota Observer.
Minnesota raised its record to 28-27 with the win.
