The 2023 MLB season has been decent for the New York Yankees as they started their campaign well. But most recently, the team suffered a devastating 11-2 home loss against the Minnesota Twins. It is the first of a four-game home series against the Minnesota-based team. Fans have expressed devastation and disappointment at the loss. The Yankees’ official Twitter account shared a post highlighting the loss.
FINAL: Twins 11, Yankees 2.

In a Tweet, they said, “FINAL: Twins 11, Yankees 2.” The Yankees gave up a whopping 9 runs in the first inning. Rookie pitcher Jhony Brito gave up 7 of those runs in a nightmare start. The team managed to close the floodgates and gave up only 11 runs in total, but the damage was done. Their offense never really got going, with Anthony Rizzo the only better to contribute runs.
The reactions to this result have been negative, to say the least. Some fans want to forget this game. Others expressed general discontent at the loss.

This was an uncharacteristically bad performance by the Yankees, considering how they have performed thus far. Before this game, they had only allowed opponents to score 5 runs or more twice this season. But despite the terrible result, the Bronx Bombers have a chance at redemption.
The Yankees need to make a comeback in this series
Despite this terrible loss, the Yankees need to make a comeback in this home series. They have three more games against the Twins to do so. It is still early on in the season, but every single game counts. It will be interesting to see how the Bronx Bombers recover from this setback.
