Yankees vs. Twins Game Highlights (4/24/23) | MLB Highlights

Sonny Gray on the mound for the Twins Gray pitched a year and a half roughly for the Yankees toward the end of his time was sent to the bullpen wasn't even in the Yankees starting rotation he's got a little chip on his shoulder why wouldn't he you see the numbers for Volpe had his 10 game on base streak snapped yesterday there's a called third strike that's how you come back from three you know real good late movement on his fastball judge scuffling a bit since the Twins left New York towering pop up right side Polanco with Kepler in the vicinity to a result Yankees hottest hitter but he's been stymied by Sonny Gray just one for eleven how's that from coming back from three and all the opening of bat you strike the guy out get a quick pop up for out two and then strikeout Rizzo to end the inning they will face Johnny Brito I love his stuff and his command the heat everything comes off the fastball must command the strike zone with that fastball and then you can throw that Bucs Bunny that nasty changeup Max Kepler Carlos Correa Jorge Polanco to start this one lifted to left and it'll carry the Cabrera for the first out here is Correa with one man out. Backhanded pick up by LeMahieu and he throws him out to down and that'll bring up Jorge Polanco. And a much different first inning tonight one two three go the twins on 10 pitches from Johnny Brito no scores we had to the second Torres leading off the second no score four five and six in the Yankees order rolled slowly going to be a tough play Polanco across the bag not dug out and Torres is going to reach on what should be an infield single. So Torres at first nobody out now LeMahieu Gray to second and Correa rifling his throw to first and that takes care of the stretch single just off the plate and a lead off one second walk from Brito and sure enough the twins do put the lead off man out for the first time tonight. And here is Michael Taylor up the middle and through great at bat for Taylor Vasquez will check in at second base right over the rubber right over the second base bag Kepler at the plate first and second base hit right field Vasquez to third he'll be held and Kepler fills the bases with a sharp single right. Now excuse me Polanco with the bases loaded and one out into right field base at Vasquez scoring Taylor right behind him. Polanco is clutch once again great to strike hitting especially in a situation where you know the guy's got ninety six miles an hour back there if he throws that terrific hit by Polanco and Kepler scampered to third now Buxton at the plate. And Buxton has thrown out he'll get a run batted in a bullet back to the glove of the pitcher Kepler coming in from third base if Rito had held on to the line drive they would have had a double play. But as it is Buxton is retired driving in the third run of the inning and Aaron Boone is going to turn to the bullpen early and a short night for Johnny Brito again against the twins. Judge had a tough homestand just five for thirty four fourteen strikeouts in the homestead judge. That's that in the air right field and deep Kepler back on the track looking up and it is off the overhang that will be a double for Aaron Judge and probably because of the cold weather that didn't get out. That would have been the first home run that Sonny Gray would have given up. He hasn't given up one yet. This year Torres had an infield single that is the other Yankee hit along with the judge double got him judges one out doubles left the board and it's still three to nothing. Joey Gallo will lead off the fourth against Weissert. High and deep to right center field. Then what had to feel good for Joey Gallo home run number six a no doubter once again from Joey Gallo. Not everybody can play in New York and he was one of them and he was the first one to admit it. So you got to like that. O'Brien has come in and walked the first two men that he has faced now after the second out a single a couple of walks Vasquez walked and scored in the third. It was his walk that started the three run third. Let's leave him full still lead for nothing. A Sonny Gray out here and they top have the sixth inning. He said he's been shut down the Yankees. They've got just three hits. First walk issued by Sonny tonight. It's a two out walk. And here is Aaron Judge breaking ball. Got it. Both six nearly perfect innings for Sonny Gray against the Yankees. Michael Taylor will lead off the bottom of the sixth for the twins. Slowly hit Taylor can run. And putting a ball in play and awarded for it. Larnach just hit the ball off the end of his bat last inning and got an infield hit. And now it's Taylor's turn. Polanco drove in two with a single in the third inning. Not a left hanging in the air for Cabrera long run and drop the ball got there but didn't catch it. Kepler will score Polanco to second base probably a pop fly double because there was a long run but Cabrera got there. And I'm not sure he even got leather on it. It'll be Rizzo leading off the seventh against Sonny Gray who has faced 20 batters in six innings. Three ups. I'll go to Galloway Torres with the bases empty. Got him looking. Buzz to fastball right on the edge of the strike zone and that'll bring up Cordero. I wouldn't want to be the guy to get the ball out of Sonny Gray's hand right now. This could be his last hitter. Two strikes two down. Here's the pitch. He struck him out swinging once again a curve ball and Sonny's night is over and he departs to a standing ovation here at Target Field. Seven strikeouts in seven shut out for Sonny Gray as he maintains a sub one ERA Sonny Gray has pitched twenty nine innings this year and given up two runs five nothing twins two down eighth inning here's Max he's been on three times he has scored twice third hit the sampler has pulled to right field Correa will back with a man aboard and two down Correa hitless couple of strikeouts Correa drives it to the right field corner. Cordero back and he can't make bird he'll score and Correa is digging for three and he'll reach Correa needs something like this and it is indeed a triple good for him just what he needed and it will be the birthday boy Giovanni Moran pitching the ninth inning with the twins up six to nothing. Oh my you just can't give the Yankees opportunities like this two walks in a single. It is Cabrera the seventh place hitter grounded a third and Miranda goes to the bag was looking all over the place. Look for a while like you might want to throw a home and it looked like you might throw across the diamond and finally ended up getting the force at third base. Oh and to the count on Hicks ninth inning two on two out here's the pitch. He struck him out swinging and the twins win the game six to one denied the shutout but they'll take the win.
