MINNEAPOLIS (CBSNewYork/AP) — After the Yankees and Twins pummeled each other’s relievers with one big swing after another, New York center fielder Aaron Hicks dashed and dived for an unforgettable catch to finally end a most memorable game.
Hicks made a game-saving grab for the final out in the 10th inning, Didi Gregorius had five hits and seven RBI, and New York beat Minnesota 14-12 Tuesday night in a game that featured five lead changes or ties in the final three innings.
“That’s one of those games that, for being late July, we’ll probably be talking about for a long time,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.
