In a dramatic 5-4 victory, the Minnesota Twins edged out the New York Yankees in a 13-inning showdown on Wednesday. Luke Keaschall led the charge, going 3 for 5 and scoring the winning run on Victor Caratini's game-ending single in the 13th frame. After Yankees relievers managed to force the Twins into double plays in the 9th, 10th, and 12th innings, John Schreiber suffered a hard-luck loss despite going 2-4.
Star Yankees slugger Aaron Judge was pulled in the sixth inning due to tightness in his lower right leg, and Tommy Nance pitched a perfect inning to give the Twins the edge. The Twins, who avoided a three-game sweep and tied their six-game season series with the Yankees, will face them again on Thursday in Los Angeles. The Yankees, on the other hand, will be without their top player Aaron Judge for the remainder of the season.
