GAME PREVIEW
Yankees and Twins meet in battle of division leadersFLMNew York Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia announced before the season that 2019 would be the final one of his 19-year major league career. And it's doubtful that any team was happier to hear the news than the Minnesota Twins.The 39-year-old Sabathia is scheduled to make his final regular season start at Target Field in Minneapolis in Monday night when the American League East-leading Yankees open a three-game series with the AL Central-leading Twins.Sabathia (5-4, 4.06 ERA) is 20-9 with a 3.09 ERA in 39 career starts against Minnesota and is 12-1 in his last 16 starts against the Twins. The 20 wins are tied with Justin Verlander of the Astros for the most of any active player and also rank eighth all-time against Minnesota.Minnesota will counter with left-hander Martin Perez (8-3, 4.10), who is 2-2 with a 9.68 ERA in four career starts against the Yankees.The Twins have struggled badly against the Yankees over the last decade, compiling a 20-48 record since 2010 including a woeful 10-23 mark at Target Field. However, Minnesota has won two of three from New York in each of the last two years at home.The Twins, who have seen their AL Central lead over the three-time defending division champion Cleveland Indians shrink from 11 1/2 games to three in the last month, come in off a dramatic 7-6 walk-off victory over Oakland on Sunday to earn a split of their four-game series with the A's.Max Kepler went 3-for-6 with a homer, double and four RBIs and drove in Ehire Adrianza, who had tripled in the tying run, with a line single off All-Star reliever Liam Hendriks with two outs in the bottom of the ninth."Our guys earned this win," Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli said. "This was a hard-fought series. This was a hard-fought game against a very good team, and we continued to just fight and never quit, and it's pretty unbelievable."There were moments where the odds were probably against us and there wasn't one moment where anybody in our dugout, or our team, or our staff, who laid down at any point. Our guys continued to duke it out and ultimately got a tremendous win." New York begins a seven-game road trip that concludes with four games at Boston and comes into the contest with a nine-game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees own the best record in the American League at 64-34 but come in off an 8-4 home loss to Colorado on Sunday that saw them finish with a season-low four hits, three of which were home runs."We're in a really good position right now," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "I think it's (about) not getting caught up in what these other teams are doing and really focusing on our day."We're going to get on a plane and we're going to Minnesota to play a really good Twins team, a team that's obviously a force right now in the American League, and we've got to go play well, and that's kind of how we look at it. Our guys are looking forward to the challenge, to go there and play a really good club." --Field Level Media

GAME RECAP
Twins hit 5 homers, turn triple play in 8-6 win vs YankeesMINNEOLIS Mitch Garver hit two of Minnesota's five home runs, and the Twins held on for an 8-6 victory over the New York Yankees after a tone-setting triple play in the first inning of a series opener between AL division leaders Monday night.Jorge Polanco, Nelson Cruz and Max Kepler also went deep, giving the Twins their eighth game with five or more homers this season. All but Garver's second solo shot came off starter CC Sabathia (5-5), who lasted only four innings.Martin Perez was hit just as hard, serving up home runs to Gio Urshela in the third, Luke Voit in the fourth and AL batting leader DJ LeMahieu in the fifth, a two-run drive that cut the deficit to 7-5.Nine of the last 13 batters against Perez reached, with 14 total bases, and he left after failing to get an out in the fifth. LeMahieu went 3 for 4 to raise his batting average to .338, and the Yankees hit multiple homers for the 20th time in 29 games.The deciding factor, then, was those sharp grounders, starting with Edwin Encarnacion after back-to-back walks drawn by LeMahieu and Aaron Judge. The ball went straight to third baseman Luis Arraez, who stepped on the bag and whipped the ball to second baseman Jonathan Schoop in the same motion to barely get Judge. Then the relay to first baseman Miguel Sano beat Encarnacion by a step.Gary Sanchez grounded into an inning-ending double play in the third. Judge did the same in the sixth against rookie Lewis Thorpe (1-1), who got his first major league win with 2 2/3 scoreless innings.Taylor Rogers earned his 15th save despite allowing singles to Judge and Encarnacion.After the Twins lost four of their first six games on this homestand, with the bullpen blowing late leads multiple times, their longtime nemesis arrived at an inopportune time. No opponent drives fan angst like the Yanks, who always have thousands of their own cheerers in attendance. The Twins improved to just 37-98 against the Yankees since 2002, including a 2-13 record in the postseason.MORE ON THE MASHINGCruz reached the 20-homer mark for the 11th straight season. ... The only other team to hit at least five home runs in eight different games in the same season was the 1977 Boston Red Sox.THREE'S A CROWD FAVORITEThe triple play by the Twins was their first in more than two years, since Sano went around the horn to Brian Dozier and Joe Mauer against the Los Angeles Angels on June 1, 2017. Since becoming the only team in history to turn three twice in the same game, in 1990 against the Red Sox, the Twins have logged only three triple plays. This one notably came against Encarnacion, whose 16 homers at Target Field are the second-most by a visiting player. He has 91 RBIs in 92 career games against the Twins.The Yankees had also gone two years without hitting into a triple play. Todd Frazier was the last guilty party, on July 25, 2017, against the Cincinnati Reds.TRAINER'S ROOMYankees: LF Brett Gardner was on the bench for the second straight game because of inflammation in his left knee, the result of a sliding catch he made Saturday. Gardner took pregame batting practice in the cages, and manager Aaron Boone said Gardner would be available in a pinch but that he'd prefer to give him more rest.Twins: Just five days after being reinstated, 1B C. J. Cron returned to the injured list with inflammation in his right thumb, an injury that has hampered him for more than a month. CF Byron Buxton was eligible for activation, and manager Rocco Baldelli said Buxton's concussion-like symptoms had cleared, but the Twins opted for caution and more time. Thorpe came up from Triple-A Rochester instead, and RHP Cody Stashak joined him on the shuttle. RHP Zack Littell was sent down.UP NEXTYankees: RHP Domingo German (12-3, 3.38 ERA) pitches Tuesday night, potentially aiming to become the first 13-game winner in the majors - pending Stephen Strasburg's outing for Washington. German is 3-0 with a 1.50 ERA since returning from the injured list for a strained left hip flexor.Twins: RHP Kyle Gibson (9-4, 4.02) takes the mound for the middle game of the series. Gibson is 6-1 with a 3.71 ERA and a .210 batting average against in 10 appearances at home this season.---More MLB coverage: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/-Sports
