Yankees will host Twins to Extend Their home Winning Streak
New York Yankees (80-54, first in the American League East) will take on the Minnesota Twins (68-64, second in the American League Central) on Monday at 1:05 p.m. in New York. EDT
Chris Archer of the Twins and Jameson Taillon of the Yankees are the likely starting pitchers.
Last night, the Yankees were successful in avoiding the worst-case scenario, which is something they have been doing routinely over the course of the last month or so. They saved a game to keep the gap between themselves and the Rays at five games rather than enabling the Rays to sweep them out of the Trop and throw a wrench into the division race. They are not careening off the edge of the cliff; rather, they are puttering along the edge while the gas tank is getting close to empty.
When they take on the Minnesota Twins, the New York Yankees will be looking to extend their current winning run at home to three games.
In total games played, New York has a record of 80-54, and at home, they have a record of 45-20. The Yankees are currently in first place in Major League Baseball play with a total of 207 home runs and an average of 1.5 per game.
On Monday, the teams will compete against one another for the fourth time this year.
Aaron Judge, who plays for the Yankees, has 21 doubles, 53 home runs, and a batting average of .299. Aaron Judge was once again responsible for one-half of the offense, his historic home run race was not only an important factor in the team’s ability to win games but also an intimately critical one. We are going to examine his performance in relation to that of some of the other great single-season campaigns. In the last 10 games, Anthony Rizzo has a batting average of 5-for-18 with two home runs.
In their last ten games, the Yankees went 4-6, had a batting average of .196, had an earned run average of 3.35, and were outscored by two runs.
INJURIES: Luis Gil, Andrew Benintendi, Anthony Rizzo, Jameson Taillon, Aroldis Chapman, Harrison Bader, Nestor Cortes Jr., Scott Effross, Albert Abreu, Matt Carpenter, Luis Severino, Miguel Castro, Michael King, Chad Green, Stephen Ridings, Zack Britton.
