New York Yankees at Minnesota Twins

MINNEAPOLIS (Interstat) — The New York Yankees look to secure a series win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night at Target Field after a wild extra-inning victory evened the three-game set.

The Yankees (84-67) outlasted the Twins 10-9 in 11 innings on Tuesday, a game that saw them blow a late lead before ultimately prevailing. Trent Grisham led the charge, going 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs. The win snapped a two-game skid for New York, which remains in the American League wild-card hunt.

Minnesota (66-85) saw a late rally fall short Tuesday despite multi-RBI performances from Trevor Larnach, James Outman and Ryan Fitzgerald. The loss was a microcosm of a difficult season for the Twins, who have struggled to find consistency.

The series has been a tale of two extremes. The Twins shut out the Yankees 7-0 on Monday before New York’s explosive offensive response Tuesday. The teams split a three-game series in New York in August.

Projections favor the Yankees to take the rubber match. Interstat’s game simulator predicts a 5-4 New York victory, while its ELO rating gives the Yankees a 61.3% chance to win. Bookmakers have installed New York as a -1.5 run favorite with an over/under of 9.

Following the game, the Yankees continue their road trip with a critical four-game series against the AL East rival Baltimore Orioles beginning Thursday. The Twins have an off-day Thursday before opening a four-game home series against the Cleveland Guardians on Friday.
