Domingo German is expected to start for the Yankees, while Louie Varland will likely start for the Twins

When they take on the Minnesota Twins, the New York Yankees will be looking to extend their current winning run at home to a fourth game.

The Yankees have two games scheduled for today, there is a possibility that they may be able to extend their current winning streak by a factor of two. No, winning two games in a row does not constitute much of a streak; however, winning four games in a row would have a lovely ring to it, and it would go a long way toward finishing this miserable month that the club has put us through. They are planning to start Domingo Germán in game one, while Gerrit Cole is expected to take the mound for game two.

A busy day is planned for the arena before the back-to-back doubleheader begins. Andrés analyzes Germán’s performance to this point, whilst Chris talks about how the old age of the Yankee roster has been a hindrance to the team’s success. Additionally, John discusses his confusion regarding the role that Josh Donaldson should play in this club, and Esteban offers his best at-bat of the week.

At home, New York has a record of 46-20, and altogether, the team has a record of 81-54. The Yankees are in first place in the American League in terms of total home runs with 210.

On Wednesday, the two sides will meet for the fifth time so far this year. The Yankees now hold a 3-1 advantage in the season series.

Aaron Judge is currently in first place for New York with 54 home runs and a slugging percentage of .682. In the last 10 games, Anthony Rizzo has a batting average of 3-for-13 with two home runs and two runs batted in.
