Minnesota Twins<\/a> 10-5 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\nAaron Judge went 3 for 4 to raise his major league-leading batting average to .329. The Yankees moved within four games of first-place Toronto in the AL East.<\/p>\n
Luis Gil pitched 4 2\/3 innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on nine hits. Four relievers combined to blank the Twins the rest of the way, with Fernando Cruz (3-4) getting four outs.<\/p>\n
Grisham tied the game at 2-all with a solo homer in the third off Taj Bradley (6-8). In the fourth, he took Bradley deep again for a three-run shot \u2014 his 33rd of the season \u2014 onto the plaza in right field to make it 6-2.<\/p>\n
The Twins fought back with a three-run fifth inning, keyed by Brooks Lee’s two-out, two-run single.<\/p>\n
Bellinger hit a two-run homer in the ninth.<\/p>\n
Lee had three hits for the Twins, while Austin Martin and Royce Lewis each had two.<\/p>\n
The Twins had already plated three in the fifth and had runners on first and second with two out when Yankees manager Aaron Boone called for Cruz. Royce Lee hit a line drive toward the gap in right-center, but Bellinger ran it down to maintain New York’s 7-5 lead.<\/p>\n
The four earned runs allowed by Gil were as many as he gave up in his last four starts combined (22 1\/3 innings total).<\/p>\n
The Yankees travel to Baltimore, where LHP Max Fried (17-5, 3.03 ERA) will face the Orioles on Thursday to open a four-game series. The Twins welcome Cleveland on Friday for the opener of a four-game series, with Pablo L\u00f3pez (5-4, 2.64) on the mound.<\/p>\n
