GAME RECAP

IMPACT PLAYER

Didi Gregorius, Yankees

The Twins led 3-0 and had an All-Star pitching when Gregorius hit a three-run homer in the first inning, just the sort of swat that turns baseball games around.

By the NUMBERS

1 Outs gotten by Yankees starter Luis Severino.

4 Yankees relievers who combined for 8⅔ innings of one-run relief. Those relievers were Chad Green, David Robertson, Tommy Kahnle and Aroldis Chapman.

5 Batters who worked the count full against Twins starter Ervin Santana among the seven batters he faced.

5 Years it had been since the Yankees won a postseason game.
