Warren’s 6 2/3 innings performance guides Yankees to a 6-2 victory over Twins.

Published on Aug 12, 2025 – Warren played phenomenally, pitching for 6 2/3 innings that led the Yankees to a 6-2 victory against the Twins. Warren restricted the Twins to only three hits and two runs, making him the first Yankees starting pitcher to get an out in the seventh inning in a month.

Warren, however, allowed home runs to Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach. He struck out seven players and made no walks before Luke Weaver and David Bednar finished off what was New York’s 23rd win in their past 30 regular-season meetings with Minnesota.

It marked the first time the Yankees won a series opener ever since the All-Star break. The last time a Yankee pitcher secured an out in the seventh was Carlos Rodón, who pitched eight innings on July 11 against the Chicago Cubs.

In the match, Cody Bellinger, Giancarlo Stanton and Ben Rice all homered against Minnesota starter Zebby Matthews. Jazz Chisholm Jr. also homered in the eighth after Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge hit RBI singles in the seventh.

Warren was close to completing a shutout until the fifth inning where Buxton striked a homer. Additionally, Bellinger also broke his 12-game homerless streak in the first inning. During the third inning, Stanton and Rice hit back-to-back homers – the eighth time for the Yankees this year.

Matthews allowed three runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings. The right-hander struck out nine and tied his own career high by allowing three homers.

The Yankees have an impressive 10-3 record when homering at least four times in a year. Stanton hit his 10th homer in his last 25 games, and his first in the field since Aug. 3, 2023 against Houston.

For Tuesday night, Rodón is scheduled to start for the Yankees. The Twins are expected to use a bullpen game.
