Yankees Aim for Series Sweep Against Struggling Twins

The New York Yankees are set to face the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis on Wednesday afternoon, aiming for a three-game sweep. The Yankees, with a record of 88-63, have won their last three games, including two against the Twins, who currently sit at 70-81.

Yankees player Cody Bellinger commended teammate Spencer Jones for his performance, particularly after Jones hit a three-run homer in an 8-1 victory on Tuesday night. Meanwhile, the Twins have lost three consecutive games and five of their last six, needing to win all 11 remaining games to finish the season at .500.

Injuries are a concern for Minnesota, as shortstop Kaelen Culpepper may miss the next game due to hamstring soreness. The Yankees will start left-hander Carlos Rodon, who is looking for his third straight win, while the Twins will counter with right-hander Zebby Matthews, who has struggled in recent outings.
