MLB News Roundup: Minnesota Twins walk-off Detroit Tigers in a wild play; New York Yankees star hitter Aaron Judge celebrates birthday in style with a home run and win against Baltimore Orioles - April 27
The MLB carries on at its frenetic pace, and on a day loaded with games that varied from high-scoring shootouts to tension-filled extra innings, there was a little something for everybody to enjoy. Well, unless your team lost, that is. That probably wasn't very enjoyable.
The Minnesota Twins had one of the craziest game endings and a play that had two errors and poor base running, but they somehow scored a victory over the Detroit Tigers in the bottom of the ninth inning.
The Minnesota play needs to be seen to be believed, so here it is in all its glory from the Minnesota Twins on Twitter.
You never know what you’ll see when you come to the ballpark. 😱😱😱

Los Angeles Angels win 4-1 against Cleveland Guardians, Mike Trout homers
In case anybody has forgotten that Mike Trout is the best player in the MLB, his home run and double that led to the defeat of the Cleveland Guardians will hopefully remind them. Shohei Ohtani also recorded a hit, which should help improve the confidence of the superstar who has struggled offensively in 2022.

The Los Angeles Angels fans deserve a playoff berth after the last decade they have endured.
The infamous "Yankee Letter" was released
The contents of the letter sent from Rob Manfred to the New York Yankees was finally released to end the speculation. It largely cleared the New York Yankees of major wrongdoing and will not lead to any further action.
Jeff Passan on Twitter summarized the situation well via a tweet.
The infamous Yankees Letter ... is pretty much a nothing-burger. Says the Yankees used their replay room to decode catchers' signs and relay them to runners on second -- which multiple teams were doing. Does not find they were illicitly using CF camera. @martinonyc had it first.
