The New York Yankees were defeated by the Minnesota Twins on Monday night.  The game took place at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida and the final score was 2-1.  Masahiro Tanaka started for the Yankees and he pitched well.  Ronald Torreyes and Tyler Wade led the offense with two hits each. 

Tanaka took the loss pitching four innings giving up four hits and two runs with a walk and six strikeouts.  Dellin Betances pitched to two batters and struck them both out, Chasen Shreve pitched to one batter and retired him and Domingo German pitched three innings giving up a hit and he struck out three.  Tommy Khanle pitched an inning giving up a hit and he struck out one. 

Estevan Florial drew a walk, Shane Robinson drew a walk and Greg Bird had a hit.  Brandon Drury had a hit, Tyler Austin had a hit, an RBI and drew a walk and Billy McKinney drew a walk.  Austin Romine had a hit, Torreyes had two hits and Wade had two hits.  Torreyes and Wade each hit a double and Austin hit a homerun.  The Yankees were 1-8 with runners in scoring position and left eight men on base.  Robinson had a stolen base and Wade was caught stealing.  Robinson was picked off and Torreyes committed an error. 

In the second Bobby Wilson hit a two-run homerun to give the Twins a 2-0 lead.  In the fourth Austin hit a solo homerun to cut the lead to 2-1 but that would be the final score.

  1. Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to produce a really good article… but what
    can I say… I procrastinate a lot and don't manage to get nearly
    anything done.
