Minnesota Twins defeat New York Yankees in 13-inning thriller

The Minnesota Twins secured a 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees in 13 innings on Wednesday. The game was decided in the 13th inning when Victor Caratini hit a walk-off single to center field, following a solo home run by Luke Keaschall earlier in the game to tie it in the 10th.

The Yankees faced challenges during the matchup, including the removal of star Aaron Judge in the sixth inning due to right lower leg stiffness. The Yankees' offense struggled, striking out 17 times and leaving 13 runners on base.

In related roster news, the Twins placed rookie shortstop Kaelen Culpepper on the 10-day injured list due to a mild left hamstring strain. Culpepper sustained the injury while running during a game against the Yankees. The Twins have recalled infielder Ben Ross from Triple-A St. Paul to take his place on the active roster.
