**Woods Richardson Shines as Twins Shut Out Yankees 7-0**

MINNEAPOLIS – Simeon Woods Richardson delivered a masterful performance on Monday night, striking out a career-high 11 batters over six shutout innings, powering the Minnesota Twins to a 7-0 victory over the New York Yankees.

The dominant outing from Woods Richardson (7-4) held the Yankees’ usually potent offense in check, allowing just two hits and three walks. The Twins bullpen followed suit, with Kody Funderburk, Travis Adams, and Pierson Ohl each contributing a scoreless inning.

Offensively, Austin Martin was the star, driving in four runs. Brooks Lee added a solo home run and a double. The Twins offense erupted for five runs in the seventh inning against Yankees reliever Luke Weaver. Lee started the rally with a double, followed by another double from Trevor Larnach. Martin then delivered a crucial three-run double, and Luke Keaschall capped off the inning with an RBI single.

The Yankees, meanwhile, struggled to generate any momentum. Carlos Rodón (16-9) pitched six innings, allowing two runs on five hits, but took the loss. The Yankees offense failed to advance a runner past second base. The Yankees bullpen continues to struggle since the All-Star break.

The loss drops the Yankees five games behind the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East and their lead for the top AL Wild Card spot is now only one game ahead of the Boston Red Sox.

The Yankees and Twins will face off again on Tuesday, with Cam Schlittler scheduled to pitch for the Yankees against Zebby Matthews for the Twins.
