Fried anchored the victory with a composed start, allowing only one earned run while striking out six. He earned the win as New York's pitching kept Minnesota from building sustained pressure.
Cody Bellinger homered in the first, bringing Ben Rice home and giving the Yankees the lead they never relinquished. Heliot Ramos later doubled to bring Rice across, and Spencer Jones homered to bring Ramos and Luis García Jr. home. José Caballero added insurance when George Lombard Jr. scored on his single in the ninth.
Bailey Ober took the loss after Minnesota fell behind early and could not contain New York's middle-inning surge. Emmanuel Rodriguez brought Royce Lewis home in the second, while Luke Keaschall collected hits for an offense that otherwise struggled to turn opportunities into pressure.
The Yankees extended their winning streak, while the Twins' losing streak continued. The game belonged to Fried's control and New York's one-inning burst.
