New York Yankees pitcher Jameson Taillon throws to a Minnesota Twins batter during the first inning of a baseball game on Tuesday, June 7, 2022 (June 8 in Manila), in Minneapolis. AP PHOTOMINNEAPOLIS: The starting pitching has been so dominant for the New York Yankees this year, it has almost overshadowed another potent offense that leads the major leagues in home runs. Rizzo hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning to crack open a close game for the Yankees, who brushed off a rare rough start by Jameson Taillon to beat the Minnesota Twins 10-4 on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) for their seventh straight victory. The Yankees have only lost once when that happens, in the Field of Dreams game in Iowa last August 12. That's actually a lower winning percentage than the astounding 110-38 record the Yankees have built, including the playoffs, against the Twins since 2002.
