Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton Power Yankees Past Twins 9-1: New York Wins Ninth Straight Over Minnesota – August 12, 2025

Tuesday, August 12th, 2025

Yankees Dominate Twins With Power Hitting and Stellar Pitching

The New York Yankees showcased their offensive firepower with a commanding 9-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Key performances from Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton helped secure the win in a game that demonstrated both power at the plate and excellence on the mound.

Judge and Stanton Deliver Key Home Runs

Aaron Judge broke his homer drought by launching his first long ball since July 23, providing an early spark for the Yankees offense. Giancarlo Stanton added to the power display, notching his first four-hit game since August 2023. Stanton doubled in his opening at-bat, homered in the fifth, and singled twice more before being replaced for a pinch runner after driving in two with a single.

Carlos Rodón's Dominant Outing

Starting pitcher Carlos Rodón limited Minnesota to only one hit over seven innings, recovering from a 31-pitch first inning in which he surrendered a leadoff single. Rodón became the first Yankee to complete seven innings since his own eight-inning outing against the Cubs a month ago.

Anthony Volpe and the Yankees' Streak

Anthony Volpe delivered a pivotal three-run homer in the second inning, breaking a tie and putting the Yankees ahead for good. With this win, New York secured their ninth consecutive victory over the Twins and marked their third series win since the All-Star break. The Yankees also won the first two matchups of a series for the first time since sweeping Seattle in early July.

Twins Struggle to Keep Up

Twins rookie starter Travis Adams allowed four runs and four hits in just 2 1/3 innings and suffered the loss. The Twins managed only one run, coming after Carlos Rodón loaded the bases in the first and allowed a run-scoring groundout from Royce Lewis.

Key Moment

Carlos Rodón faced trouble in the opening inning, loading the bases after hitting Ryan Jeffers. He allowed a single run before shutting down the threat, retiring Kody Clemens to end the frame and then permitting only one baserunner over the final six innings.

Key Stat

Giancarlo Stanton now has nine of his 14 career four-hit games as a Yankee, underscoring his consistent ability to deliver big performances in New York.

Up Next

On Wednesday, the Yankees will send rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler (1-2, 4.38 ERA) to the mound to face Minnesota right-hander Joe Ryan (11-5, 2.79 ERA) as the series continues.

In summary

The New York Yankees powered past the Minnesota Twins with standout home runs from Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, a dominant pitching performance from Carlos Rodón, and pivotal swings by Anthony Volpe. The Yankees extended their winning streak against the Twins to nine and captured their third series victory since the All-Star break. Key moments and statistics highlighted the team’s balanced play, with New York looking to maintain momentum as the series proceeds.
