NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge started the first-game comeback with his major league-leading 55th home run, Isiah Kiner-Falefa hit a go-ahead grand slam in the nightcap and the New York Yankees swept a doubleheader from the Minnesota Twins 5-4 and 7-1. Kiner-Falefa sparked a two-run 12th in the opener with a tying single and hit a fourth-inning slam off Joe Ryan in the second game. Oswaldo Cabrera stopped an 0-for-25 slide with a game-ending single in the opener. Gerrit Cole struck out a season-high 14 in the night game. New York clinched its 30th straight winning season and is 114-39 against the Twins since 2002.
