Twins Fall to Yankees 5-3

New York, NY (Learfield)  --  The New York Yankees took the lead in the fourth inning Friday, then turned the game over to what might be the major leagues' best bullpen.  Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman threw three perfect innings, not allowing the ball to be hit out of the infield as the Yanks won 5-3.  

Masahiro Tanaka beat Minnesota for the second time in a week.  Tommy Milone took the mound for the first time since late April, and took the loss for the Twins.  

Eduardo Nunez drove in a pair to give Minnesota a 2-0 lead in the third.  Kurt Suzuki's double made it 3-2 Minnesota in the fourth, but the Yankees scored twice in the bottom of the inning and never trailed again.  

Ervin Santana goes for Minnesota in today's 12:05 p-m game at Yankee Stadium. Pre-game coverage begins at 11:30 on KROC AM.

Twins Trade Oswaldo Arcia to Rays

Minneapolis, MN (Learfield)  --  The Minnesota Twins have traded once-promising outfielder Oswaldo Arcia to the Tampa Bay Rays.  The Twins will receive a player to be named later or cash.

Arcia, a left-handed hitter, was designated for assignment June 16th when the Twins recalled Danny Santana from the disabled list. The 25-year-old had a .215 batting average and four home runs in 114 at bats this year with Twins.

He has a career .240 average with 40 home runs and 120 RBI. He split parts of four seasons with the Twins and the minor leagues.  In 2014, Arcia had his best year with the team. He played 103 games with 20 home runs and 57 R-B-I's.
