The New York Yankees desperately needed to snap a four-game losing streak on Tuesday evening after falling to the Boston Red Sox for three consecutive games. Coming off a weekend sweep, the Minnesota Twins offered an opportunity to get back in the win column as a team below .500 on the season.
Thankfully, the Yankees’ offense showed some life in the first game of the series on Tuesday, scoring eight runs and recording 14 hits. The team struck out just five times, showcasing they are more than capable of producing runs on the board on a nightly basis.
