The Minnesota Twins (66-78) ended a nine game losing streak to the Yankees, topping New York 10-5 Tuesday night at Target Field.

The Yankees took the lead early, scoring a run in the top of the second inning, but the Twins would comeback with a three inning scoring flurry.  Minnesota put three runs on the board in the third, one in the fourth, and six in the fifth inning -- four of which came on a Joe Mauer grand slam.
