The New York Yankees may have gotten their season back on track with two wins over the Minnesota Twins today. The second game was a blowout victory for the Yankees, thanks in large part to Gerrit Cole. Cole was an ace on the mound today, striking out 14 batters in 6.2 innings. This dominance on the field made it difficult for the Twins to get any form of offense going.
Yankees infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa blasted a grand slam to take the lead in the fourth inning, and the Yankees never looked back. These were two huge wins for the New York Yankees, and their fans certainly knew the importance.
