Camilo Doval came on for the eighth and pitched around the classic pitch clock violation walk to throw a scoreless inning. Justin Topa dominated in the bottom of the eighth for the Twins, and Brent Headrick sidestepped some trouble in the ninth to keep the game in range.

The start of their series finale against Minnesota was delayed for 1:52 by rain and by the fifth inning the out-of-town scoreboard showed that AL East leader Toronto and second-place Boston had lost as had the team chasing them for the final AL wild card, Cleveland.

The Twins score three times in the sixth inning as they defeat the Yankees 4-1. ESPN BET Sportsbook is owned and operated by PENN Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries ('PENN'). ESPN BET is available in states where PENN is licensed to offer sports wagering.
