The Minnesota Twins came into the American League Divisional Series looking to “slay the dragon” of past failures. While no members on the team had anything to do with the Twins’ losses to the New York Yankees during their run of success in the 2000s, the black cloud still hung over the team as they headed to the Bronx to open their series on Friday night.
Although they got off to a great start with home runs from Jorge Polanco and Nelson Cruz, the game turned out to be more of the same for the Twins as they fell to the Bombers by a score of 7-4.
