Carlos Rodon allowed one hit in seven outstanding innings, Giancarlo Stanton homered and collected four hits, and the New York Yankees trounced the visiting Minnesota Twins 9-1 on Tuesday.

Rodon (12-7) cruised after the first three hitters reached in a 31-pitch opening inning, allowing one baserunner in the remainder of his outing. The left-hander gave up one run, struck out five and walked two as New York won its second straight game to open a three-game series.

Tim Hill and Yerry De Los Santos finished the one-hitter. Minnesota’s Austin Martin opened the game with a single and scored the Twins’ lone run.

Stanton homered for the second straight game and drove in three runs. The slugger went 4-for-5, his first four-hit game since Aug. 24, 2023, against the Washington Nationals.

Aaron Judge homered for the first time since July 23, Anthony Volpe hit a tiebreaking three-run homer off Minnesota rookie Travis Adams (1-2) in the second inning and Stanton went deep in the fifth.

Stanton, making his third start in right field, doubled in the first inning and singled in his final two at-bats after hitting his 12th homer of the season. His seventh-inning hit drove in two for an 8-1 lead.

Cody Bellinger preceded Stanton’s fourth hit by drawing a bases-loaded walk after an intentional walk to Judge.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. reached base four times, Judge drew three walks after homering and the Yankees finished with 11 hits and a season-high 11 walks. Chisholm scored New York’s final run on a grounder by J.C. Escarra in the eighth.

Adams allowed four runs on four hits in 2 1/3 innings during his second career start. The right-hander struck out two and walked four in a 70-pitch outing.

In the first inning, Minnesota loaded the bases and scored when Royce Lewis beat out a potential double-play grounder by a few steps.

In the bottom of the frame, Judge hit a 2-2 fastball into the Yankees’ bullpen beyond the right-center-field fence.

New York extended its lead in the second following walks to Chisholm and Ryan McMahon. Volpe lifted a 1-1 sinker into the right-center-field seats.

Leading off the fifth, Stanton upped the lead to 5-1 with a 447-foot drive into the bleachers beyond the visiting bullpen in left-center field.

Rodon retired 17 straight until walking Ryan Jeffers with two outs in the sixth. He ended the inning by retiring Luke Keaschall on a grounder.
