New York catcher Jose Herrera contributed significantly to his team's 15-10 win over the Minnesota Twins. Herrera went 3 for 3 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Yankees. Caleb Williams, credited with the save, is now 3 for 5 in save opportunities. New York is now 71-81. Minnesota is 79-72.

New York needed the clutch hitting of Israel Ávila to seal the deal. The third baseman swatted a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Yankees on top, 11-10. For the game, Ávila had 1 home run and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Herrera said. "We did a good job of that today."
