Twins Take Down Yankees, 3-2
Minnesota got a strong outing from Marcos Ortega as the Twins defeated the New York Yankees, 3-2, at Yankee Stadium 1976. Fred Breining snagged the win in relief. In 2 innings, the right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit. He's now 4-5 on the season. Minnesota is now 78-50, 2 games up in the American League West Division.

Minnesota used the timely hitting of Ken Oberkfell to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Twins on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Oberkfell told the Minnesota Observer.
