The Yankees’ trip to Cincinnati started in inauspicious fashion on Monday night. While Aaron Judge opened the proceedings with a first inning home run, he and the rest of the offense didn’t do much of anything the rest of the night. As a team, the Yankees went 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position, stranding nine runners on base. That led to the Reds eventually overtaking them and beating them 6-1.

Elsewhere around baseball, we didn’t quite have a full slate of action, but there were some games of note as far as the Yankees and the American League were concerned. Let’s take a look back at Monday in today’s Rivalry Roundup.

Seattle Mariners (40-37) 11, Minnesota Twins (37-41) 2

The Mariners scored six runs in the third inning and really never looked back from there, crushing the Twins in Minnesota.

Bryan Woo and Bailey Ober exchanged a couple zeroes early, but Seattle soon got to Ober in the top of the third in a big way. After a couple hits led to a run scoring on a J.P. Crawford sacrifice fly, Julio Rodríguez and Luke Raley each added homers in the inning, as the M’s opened up a 6-0 lead.

The Twins eventually got on the board in the sixth when Trevor Larnach and Carlos Correa hit back-to-back homers, but otherwise Woo mostly held Minnesota in check. In six innings, Woo allowed just those two runs on six hits and a walk, while striking out nine.

They wouldn’t end up really needing it, but Seattle got some insurance thanks to a Dominic Canzone homer in the sixth, and a four spot in the ninth, which included another Cal Raleigh homer to extend his MLB-best total to 32.

Los Angeles Angels (38-40) 9, Boston Red Sox (40-40) 5

A four-run eighth inning proved the difference for the Angels, as they outlasted the Red Sox after a back and forth game.

The game got off to quite an eventful start, with eight total runs in the first inning. Boston got three of those via RBI hits from Wilyer Abreu and Ceddanne Rafaela. However, despite being given that early lead, Walker Buehler couldn’t keep hold of it.

The Angels came back with five runs of their own in the bottom of the first. Zach Neto led off the game for LA with a homer, but a lot of the damage ended up being self-inflicted by Boston. Buehler walked two batters before allowing a RBI single to Jo Adell. After a hit by pitch loaded the bases, Buehler walked two runs in, and then hit Neto to score another run, as the Angels batted around and took the lead.

The Red Sox came back to tie the game, getting a Connor Wong RBI sac fly in the fourth, and Trevor Story leading off with a homer in the sixth. However, they did lose manager Alex Cora in the process, as he got ejected for arguing following a very weird double play.

The score stayed there, but eventually the Angels got the last laugh. With Garrett Whitlock on the hill in the eighth, Lamont Wade Jr. led off with a single, stole second, and then ended up at third thanks to a Wong error on the stolen base attempt. Christian Moore then sac flied him home to give the Angels the lead back, but two more walks from Whitlock scored another run, before Travis d’Arnaud hit a two RBI single that gave LA a four-run cushion that they held on to.

In total, Boston pitching walked 11 batters for the game, giving a massive boost to the Angels’ offense.
