Yankees Fall Hard to Twins | Minnesota Twins News

The Yankees crumbled in a 11-4 loss to the Twins on July 4th, as rookie starter Brendan Beck struggled from the jump, surrendering three runs in the first including a homer, and the team trailed 5-0 by the third. Minnesota piled on with more homers, while Beck’s fastball lacked the punch needed at the big league level. The offense finally woke up in the fifth, but couldn’t hold off the Twins’ surge. The return of Cody Bellinger was a bright spot, especially with Aaron Judge still out — his presence is vital as the offense sputters without him. A loaded-base situation in the sixth went cold, and Josh Bell’s homer sealed the Twins’ lead. Camilo Doval’s shaky outing, including an unearned run, sealed the fate of the bullpen. The Yankees now face a critical need for pitching consistency if they hope to turn things around.
