Well, it's been proven time and time again. When the Yankees need a slumpbuster, you just bring in the twins as the home run bats were activated last night in the Bronx. Two and two. Breaking ball hammered down the right field line. It is a fair ball and gone. Ben Rice. Third home run tonight by the Yankees. He's two for two for Ben. 17th home run. RBI number 38, 3-0. Yankees. He's two for two. The Ben, 17th home run. RBI number 38, 3-0-0. Yankees. That's Dave Sims here on the fan. Hey now. One of four solo homers, Yanks, hit against Minnesota, Rice, Bellinger, Stanton, and Chisholm. Meantime, Will Warren, 6 and 2-thirds. Innings have three hit two-run ball with seven strikeouts for the victory. So a nice rocking chair win for the Yanks, six to two, top the twins. And they've now taken 23 of their last 30 regular season meetings with Minnesota. Also their first win in a series opener since the All-Star break. And for Warren, he's the first Yankee starter to record an out in the seventh inning in a month. Trent Christum joins Susan here on the fan following the final out of the game. Nice to see some length for a change. Anytime you can get a starting pitcher into the seventh. You're really helping out a bullpen, giving guys breaks when they need them. Because we're going to lean on those guys hard. Yes, they will. Rest of the way. Luke Weaver and David Beddard finished it off,

getting the final seven outs in order for via strikeout on 33 pitches. So good job by those two.

Back to the offense. Belinger got it started with the solo homer in the first. Much needed.

Yeah, definitely. You know, understand what's that stake, what's been going on. And, you know, a bunch of guys were all putting in the work today. And it's nice, it's always nice when the results show. What do you think it means by the guys were putting in the work today? It means it care. Yeah. You like that today means maybe not yesterday? Is that you saying?

I don't know. I just wonder it was one of those just, I'm with the media and I just throw an

extra word in there. I think so. They do anything different? No, I don't think so. I think so. I think so. I think you just meant, you know, we got results today. Yes. We put in the work today. it was all today.

Today was a good day.

The success was there.

The success was there today.

But again, like, you know,

you got to celebrate them, no doubt.

But this is more of a relief. today. Today was a good day. The success was there today. The success was there today. But again, like, you know, you got to celebrate them, no doubt.

But this is more of a relief than a celebration. You can't lose that game. And the idea that's the first time they've won a series opener since the Cub series series before the All-Star break, which, by the way, they went on to lose the next two. Like, it's, I'm not, I'm not, again, last night was a good, solid win.

There's no doubt about it.

Watching jazz, you know, hit the home two. Like it's, I'm not, I'm not, again, last night was a good solid win. There's no doubt about it. Watching jazz, you know, hit the home run. That was a positive, even if it's a, just to get him going. Yes. He's been in a brutal slum. So a lot of positives from last night's win, but again, you got to make it stick. You got to take all three, go up against their ace, Joe Ryan at the end the series, and then continue to play well from there. So last night was just hopefully the start, but I don't know. I'm not that excited about it. No, I mean, it's to be expected. I mean, you being realistic, there's nothing wrong with that. It was a good solid way. I was telling Chris, we sat here yesterday and threw spaghetti at the wall and he cried. It was upset about the current state of New York baseball. It felt good. To your point, it was a relief. And that we should celebrate the small wins as much as we celebrate the beach. And let me tell you this. You know how I know last night I wasn't that excited about it? Because even I'm not dumb enough to bet the Minnesota Twins against the New England.

I stayed out of that one. I wasn't losing money on the Twins last night. That's for sure. All right. Last word, Aaron Boone, at least for the salary, he's not paying any attention to another win over these Twinkies. We're one and O against them this year. You know, and a lot of players that have never played for them or for us or played against each other in this scenario.

So just one of those things. them this year, you know, and a lot of players that have never played for them or for us or played

against each other in this scenario. So just one of those things where obviously our organizations

had a lot of recent success, but that can always change. Well, they're hoping it doesn't change in this

particular week because they really could use the series win or a sweep, as you said. And I said,

I'm sorry, we've been talking in the open. I'm

proud of Aaron Boone there. The history doesn't matter.
