Twins pitcher Tyler Duffey was perfect through 5 2/3 innings against the New York Yankees in a sparkling pitching display Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.

The 25-year-old righthander lost his no-hitter and perfect game in the bottom of the sixth with a two-out double by former Twin Aaron Hicks.

The Twins were leading at the time, 5-0.
