New York Yankees end seven-game skid with Ben Rice's go-ahead homer

Ben Rice delivered a go‑ahead two‑run homer in the third inning after a 53‑minute rain delay, lifting the New York Yankees to a 5‑2 victory over the Minnesota Twins. The win halted a seven‑game losing streak, the longest for the Yankees since August 2023.

Gerrit Cole pitched five innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out seven. Trent Grisham added a leadoff homer and a sacrifice fly, and the bullpen closed the game with David Bednar recording his 17th save. The Yankees improved to 4‑15 in their last 15 games and will look to build momentum in the upcoming series.
