MINNEAPOLIS — – Simeon Woods Richardson<\/a> struck out a career-high 11 over six innings and Austin Martin<\/a> drove in four runs on Monday night to lead the Minnesota Twins<\/a> over the New York Yankees<\/a> 7-0.<\/p>\n

New York dropped five games back of AL East-leading Toronto with its second straight loss. The Yankees’ lead for the top AL wild card was cut to one game over Boston.<\/p>\n

Woods Richardson (7-4) walked three and gave up two hits against the AL’s highest-scoring team. Kody Funderburk<\/a>, Travis Adams<\/a> and Pierson Ohl<\/a> each threw a scoreless inning in relief.<\/p>\n

Brooks Lee<\/a> doubled and homered and Edouard Julien<\/a> had two hits for the Twins, who scored five runs off Luke Weaver<\/a> in the seventh inning.<\/p>\n

Weaver has a 6.21 ERA in 34 games since returning June 20 from a strained left hamstring. He had a 1.05 ERA in 24 games before he got hurt.<\/p>\n

Yankees relievers have a 5.45 ERA since the All-Star break, 28th among the 30 teams.<\/p>\n

Carlos Rod\u00f3n (16-9) gave up two runs and five hits in six innings, losing consecutive starts since June.<\/p>\n

Paul Goldschmidt<\/a> and Jos\u00e9 Caballero each had a hit for the Yankees, who did not advance a runner past second base.<\/p>\n

Jhonny Pereda<\/a> doubled in the third and scored when Martin hit into a forceout, and Lee led off the fifth with his 15th homer.<\/p>\n

Minnesota blew it open off reliever Luke Weaver in the seventh.<\/p>\n

Trevor Larnach<\/a> and Lee hit back-to-back doubles in the seventh, Martin had a three-run double and Luke Keaschall<\/a> greeted Camilo Doval<\/a> with an RBI single.<\/p>\n

Key moment<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Caballero hit a one-out double in the fifth but Woods Richardson caught him breaking early to third and Caballero was out in a rundown. Austin Wells<\/a> then flied out.<\/p>\n

Key stat<\/p>\n

Woods Richardson tied his career high of eight strikeouts by the end of the fourth inning.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

RHP Cam Schlittler<\/a> (3-3, 3.05 ERA) of the Yankees will face RHP Zebby Matthews (4-5, 5.06) on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
