MINNEAPOLIS — When Nelson Cruz speaks, the Twins listen.
So after they fell into a 2-0 hole in the ALDS on Saturday night at Yankee Stadium, they heard from their veteran leader and took it to heart.
“He’s not necessarily a guy that’s long-winded and likes to give, like, catchphrases, but he kind of just said, we’re the Minnesota Twins,” reliever Trevor May said Sunday before the Twins worked out at Target Field. “I mean, they should respect that. We’re proud of that. We’re about to be in our park, and we’re going to hear our fans, and it’s going to be in our control.
