Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt struck out eight batters as the Twins offense continued to struggle against New York
The Twins' decades-long struggles against the Yankees continue into 2024 after the Yankees completed the three-game sweep of Minnesota Thursday.
Anthony Volpe's leadoff home run established early control for New York. Gleybar Torres added the Yankees' second run of the first inning four batters later with a double to center that scored Aaron Judge. One pitch later Anthony Rizzo grounded out to first, bringing in Alex Verdugo as the Yankees put up three runs in the opening inning.Twins hitters were shut down Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt.
By that point the Yankees had made it 4-0 off of Austin Wells' RBI single in the top of the sixth inning. Alex Verdugo then made it 5-0 with an RBI sac fly that drove in Juan Soto in the top of the seventh. Schmidt allowed just three hits and struck out eight batters in eight innings of shutdown ball. The Twins offense was shut down in the three games against the Yankees going scoreless in their last 26 innings against New York.
Minnesota have now lost four of their last five. The Twins are back in action Friday night in Cleveland, with first pitch set for 6:10 p.m. CT.
