The Minnesota Twins silenced the Bronx with a masterful pitching performance and timely hitting, handing the New York Yankees a rare home loss with a decisive 4-1 victory on Wednesday night. Joe Ryan dominated from the mound, carving through the Yankees' powerful lineup with seven strikeouts over 6.2 innings while allowing just one run—a solo homer to Cody Bellinger. The Twins' bullpen sealed the deal, with Justin Topa tossing two scoreless frames to preserve the lead. Minnesota's offense struck early, capitalizing on a shaky Yankees bullpen as Kody Clemens delivered the decisive blow—a two-run single in the sixth that broke the game open.

New York's struggles were compounded by missed opportunities, as Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton combined to go 0-for-8 with three strikeouts. The Yankees' bullpen faltered when it mattered most, with Yerry De los Santos failing to record an out in the sixth while surrendering three runs. The loss drops New York further behind in the AL East race, while the Twins—led by Ryan's gem and clutch hitting from Clemens and Byron Buxton—continue their push for a playoff spot with another statement win against elite competition.
