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.
