Yankees Losers, 6-2, Versus Minnesota
The Minnesota Twins picked up a win at Target Field, topping the New York Yankees, 6-2. On the mound for Minnesota was right-hander Bert Blyleven. He played a principal role in the triumph. Minnesota, at 35-52, occupies last place in the American League Central Division.

Joe Mauer had a big 3-run home run for the Twins in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Minnesota leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he sized up a slider from Red Ruffing, who is tied for 6th in the AL in wins with 9, and punished it. The result was his 10th home run of the season, which put the Twins on top, 5-1.

Mauer attributed the win to "concerted effort and focus."
