Earlier this week, the Yankees played arguably their biggest series of the season when the Red Sox came to town for three games. The Yankees were ready for the fight and swept the series, gaining some crucial ground in the playoff race.
Next up for the Yankees is a team not in the playoff race, so while the series may not lead to as big of a standings swings like the Red Sox series did, it’s still a set the Yankees need to at the very least split, if not take outright.
Coming in for four games this weekend are the Twins, who currently sit fourth in the AL Central.
