For rookies Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres and most everyone else swinging a bat for the New York Yankees, it was an extra special evening while beating the Minnesota Twins.

Andujar homered and doubled to extend his barrage of extra-base blows, Torres got his first major league hit and the Yankees hammered the Minnesota Twins 14-1 Monday night.

Slumping Giancarlo Stanton homered in going 4 for 4 and Didi Gregorius hit a grand slam as the Yankees posted their first three-game winning streak under new manager Aaron Boone.

Minnesota lost its fourth in a row and brought in center fielder Ryan LaMarre to pitch in the eighth inning — Tyler Austin tagged him for a two-run homer.

Brian Dozier singled home the Twins run. He has a team-record 17-game hitting streak to begin a season, and a 24-game string dating to last year.
