BRONX, N.Y. — Whether it eventually becomes an official sweep remains to be determined but in any event, the New York Yankees earned another series victory, mopping the floor with the Minnesota Twins. Not only did they keep rolling to nine consecutive victories and 20 games above .500 but they finally allowed us to breathe and enjoy some laughers.
With Sunday’s postponement, the two clubs will play a makeup game on Monday, Sept. 13, at 2:05 p.m.
GAME 1
It was a laugher turned closer than it should’ve been but also never really in doubt. The Bronx Bombers staked themselves to an early comfortable advantage and the pitching played to the scoreboard in a 7-5 victory.
