The Yankees enter the week with a tenuous hold on first place in the AL East, and they'll be looking to solidify their position with a strong finish.
The Twins will start Liam Hendriks (1-7, 5.88 ERA) on the mound, and the Yankees are scheduled to throw Andy Pettitte (4-3, 2.97). Hendriks is coming off his first win of the season, which came in a 6-4 slugfest over the Indians on Sept. 19.
Monday's Game Time: 7:10 p.m. CT
TV: FOX Sports North
