The Yankees beat the Twins 6-2 on Monday and 9-1 on Tuesday before losing 4-1 on Wednesday, but Tuesday's victory came at a price. First baseman Paul Goldschmidt left early and didn't play on Wednesday, a night in which New York especially needed his bat.

Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger waxes poetic on teammate Pual Goldschimdt, who is currently dealing with a knee injury.

Paul Goldschmidt will return to St. Louis with the Yankees this weekend, but his availability against his former team remains in question.
