He pitched 5.2 innings, giving up 8 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 3 and walking 1. With the win over Minnesota, the Yankees improved to 74-77.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Carson Kelly? The two-time All-Star Kelly stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put New York up, 5-3. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"It feels good to get this one," Kelly told the New York Daily.
