On Tuesday at Target Field in downtown Minneapolis, the Minnesota Twins broke the longest postseason losing streak in North American professional sports history. After losing their previous 18 playoff games dating back to 2004, the Twins broke free from the curse, beating the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1.
It took the Twins 6,937 days to finally win one postseason game, but it only took them one day to win another as on Wednesday, they again took down the Blue Jays 2-0, giving the Twins their first series victory in the postseason since beating the “Moneyball” Oakland Athletics in 2002.
