There is a version of this recap, in another universe, where the Yankees piled on after their 6-0 lead, pulled away, and it was a laugher. But that is not this universe, because in this universe, the Yankees allowed the Twins to get back into it, although the end result counts the same as ever, with New York winning their seventh straight, 7-4.
There have been a few nicknames for tonight, whether you prefer the Death Star lineup, or the Goal Line package, or whatever Twitter’s come up with since then. The Yankees stacked up a truly impressive top of the lineup, which of course means the 7-9 hitters were the first ones to plate any runs.
