The Twins trio slugged its shots in the sixth inning off Yankees starter Nathan Eovaldi; Dozier clubbed a two-run blast before Plouffe and Kepler followed with solo shots. Danny Santana also hit a third-inning home run off Eovaldi, who surrendered five runs and six hits over six innings.

Minnesota's power display continued against Yankees relievers, with Eduardo Nunez homering off Luis Cessa in the seventh, and Juan Centeno belted the Twins' sixth of the game in the ninth inning off Kirby Yates.
