As I said yesterday, there may be no tonic like the Minnesota Twins, or perhaps no mask for what ails the Yankees like the team they’ve dominated for pretty well the entire century. New York took care of business yesterday in the series opener, and will look for Carlos Rodón to set them up for a series sweep with a win in game two tonight.

NEW YORK - After a series loss to the Astros the still-adrift Yankees - clinging to a half-game AL wild card spot entering Monday - open a home series against the Minnesota Twins. A big-time seller at the MLB trade deadline, Minnesota (56-61) is coming off four wins in its last five games, against Detroit and Kansas City.
