"Labor Day Launchin'. #RepBX" - Yankees
New York has been great at home this season, as evidenced by their 46-20 record at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees currently lead the American League East entering Tuesday's game by five games over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Gerrit Cole will take the hill Tuesday for the Yankees. He is 10-7 with a 3.28 ERA over 27 starts. He has been reliable this season as expected, earning another All-Star appearance.
On Tuesday, he'll be up against a decent Twins lineup that ranks 10th in OPS. Recently, the right-hander has looked better, allowing just three earned runs in his previous 14 1/3 frames. Cole has been solid in his home stadium too, so let's see if he can build on his success from the last couple of weeks.
Minnesota will start Joe Ryan for Tuesday's game. He has a 10-7 record with a 3.88 ERA in 22 starts. Last time out, he was lit up, going five frames, allowing eight hits and five earned runs in a loss to the Boston Red Sox. He did fan eight, but he was bitten by the long ball, giving up two dingers in the 6-5 defeat.
New York's offense scored five on Monday, but they've averaged just 2.9 runs per game in their previous seven. Minnesota has a terrible track record playing in Yankee Stadium over the past decade, so we'll see if Ryan can reverse that trend Tuesday.

Gerrit Cole only has 10 wins on the year, despite the fact that he's received an average of five runs in run support. Still, the Yankees have gone 9-2 since the beginning of 2021 versus the Twins. Back the home side to lead after five behind their big money pitcher.
