The Twins are 0-6 against the Yankees after the pair of sweeps against the club this year.
A lengthy, 56-minute rain delay only prolonged what seemed to be the inevitable — another Twins’ loss to the New York Yankees. The Yankees completed the series sweep — and season sweep — of the Twins with an 8-5 victory Thursday night at Yankee Stadium in New York.
The Twins were able to string together some offense Thursday, but they surrendered a season-high eight walks as a pitching staff. Starter Pablo Lopez was responsible for six of them, three of which came consecutively in the third inning, eventually resulting in three Yankees runs. That came after the Twins had just tied the game in the top of the inning on Christian Vazquez’s leadoff, 404-foot solo homer. It was a pretty quick start on offense for the Twins Thursday night as Carlos Correa hit a first-inning solo homer for an early 1-0 Twins advantage.The Yankees plated another pair of runs in the fourth inning when Anthony Volpe was able to score on a throwing error from Vazquez and Stanton hit an RBI infield single.
