Despite a strong outing from Ricky Nolasco and a 4-0 lead heading into the 7th inning, the Twins bullpen imploded allowing seven runs over the final three innings in the Twins’ loss to the Yankees on Saturday.
Ricky Nolasco pitched 7 strong innings and Byung Ho Park went deep for the 12th time this year.

In the bottom of the ninth, hard throwing Aroldis Chapman came out for the save. Chapman who regularly throws in the triple digits, was taken deep on back to back home runs from Eduardo Escobar and Kurt Suzuki.

It was just the second time Chapman allowed back to back shots in his career.
