NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Jake Odorizzi kept up his impressive run, pitching two-hit ball over six shutout innings and leading the Minnesota Twins past the New York Yankees 7-3 Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Twins had lost nine straight times at Yankee Stadium, including the 2017 AL wild-card game, before Odorizzi and three home runs boosted them.<\/p>\n
Gary Sanchez homered for New York, his third in two games.<\/p>\n
The Yankees activated third baseman Miguel Andujar from their abundant injured list after he missed 28 games with a shoulder tear. He went 1 for 3 with a walk but also made two errors, misplaying a grounder early and later making a wild throw.<\/p>\n
Odorizzi (4-2) won his fourth start in a row, having outdueled Justin Verlander and the Astros 1-0 in his previous outing.<\/p>\n
This time, he allowed only a single to DJ LeMahieu leading off the third \u2014 he was picked off first base \u2014 and a single to Andujar in the sixth.<\/p>\n
Odorizzi struck out eight and worked around four walks.<\/p>\n
Mitch Garver and C.J. Cron homered off J.A. Happ (1-3) and Nelson Cruz went deep in the ninth. The Twins lost 14 of 15 in the Bronx overall.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Schoop added an RBI single in the eighth after being robbed of a three-run homer by right fielder Cameron Maybin four innings earlier.<\/p>\n
Twins reliever Trevor Hildenberger allowed two runs in the seventh on a wild pitch and an RBI single by LeMahieu. Blake Parker finished the inning by retiring Luke Voit but allowed a long homer to Sanchez to start the eighth.<\/p>\n
Taylor Rogers finished up with a perfect ninth.<\/p>\n
Happ (1-3) allowed four runs and seven hits in 5 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
The Twins went ahead 2-0 in the third when Garver’s sixth homer barely cleared the right-center field fence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
