The ongoing complaint frequently levied against baseball that the sport is “too boring” or “too slow” took a stiff blow Tuesday night when the New York Yankees faced off against the Minnesota Twins and won the contest 14-12 at Target Field.
In a game that featured two teams likely to meet in October, leads appeared no safer than a Yankee fan in a Boston bar, as each squad exchanged late-game runs like prospects at the trade deadline. The Yankees ignited the contest’s scoring with a Didi Gregorious two-out double into center field, and the two runs gave New York a first inning 2-0 lead in the 10-inning extravaganza. In response, the Twins hopped on starting pitcher Domingo German quickly, scoring several runs over the next three innings. Capped off with a 414–foot Miguel Sano home run, the Twins took a large, yet deceiving, 8–2 lead.
