Miguel Sano goes on paternity leave as Twins, Yankees head into the weekend

NEW YORK — The Twins have won two of their past 19 games at Yankee Stadium, but will try again tonight as the four-game series continues (6:10 p.m., BSN).

Rookie Charlie Barnes (0-2, 4.91) will seek his first major league victory against Yankees lefthander Nester Cortes (1-1, 2.55).

Miguel Sano is back in Minnesota after the birth of a baby daughter Thursday. He'll have a three-game paternity leave after homering in last night's 7-5 loss.

Reliever Edgar Garcia, sent to St. Paul on Thursday when the Twins recalled two pitchers, is back with the big club to take Sano's place on the roster.

There'll be a lot of attention in St. Paul tonight as Byron Buxton makes a rehab start and Joe Ryan makes his Saints debut.
