New York Yankees vs Minnesota Twins Analysis
On Wednesday evening, Domingo German will take to the mound for the New York Yankees. German had a rough outing against Toronto last time out, surrendering 4 runs including two home runs over 6 innings against them and ultimately taking the loss. Veteran right-hander German hasn’t given up many hits while still posting an impressive 4.50 ERA and 1.05 WHIP along with a 1-2 record in 20 innings pitched. German recently pitched against the Twins earlier this month and limited them to only one 4 over 6.1 innings for a 6-1 victory, setting his career ERA to 4.55 in 27.2 career innings pitched. The Bronx Bombers have enjoyed an excellent road season this year, winning series against both Orioles and Guardians in limited road action. Prior to this series against Toronto, NY had dropped two out of three due to a lack of offense – scoring three or fewer runs in all three games and only managing to score once on Monday’s defeat. New York is scoring 4.09 runs per game on average and ranks 22nd overall in scoring average. Their pitching staff has been their standout contributor with an ERA of 3.16 which ranks second.
Kenta Maeda will get his fourth start of the year against the Red Sox on Sunday night, where he was hit by a line drive and exited after two innings, giving up one run while losing to Boston in an important Minnesota Twins loss. Maeda has allowed one home run in each of his three starts this season and sports a 4.15 ERA with 1.00 WHIP for 13 innings pitched this year. His record stands at 0-3.. Maeda missed most of last season due to Tommy John surgery; since then he has only made one career start against the Yankees; during which he allowed five runs over 4.1 innings. Minnesota enters Tuesday night having dropped back-to-back series after falling two of three to Boston and suffering two unexpected defeats against Nationals on the weekend, scoring only nine runs during that time frame despite coming back out victorious in New York with a 6-1 victory on Monday. Minnesota has seen their scoring decline to 4.22 runs per game this season and have reported a 3.25 team ERA which places them 19th overall.
