Goldschmidt Stars in 9-2 Yankees Win
The New York Yankees topped the Minnesota Twins by the score of 9-2, with the largest share of the credit going to first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.

He allowed 2 runs on 3 hits, with 2 walks and 9 strikeouts over 6 innings. Caleb Ferguson converted his 2nd save in 2 tries.

Minnesota manager Al Wehr said his team was "out of sync."

The American League East Division-leading Yankees are 33-23.
