Yankees blow past Twins to capture Game 1 of ALDS

There might be different voices other than the Four Tops singing it, but when it comes to the Yankees and Twins in the postseason “It’s the same old song.’’

Whether it is a costly error or awful bullpen performances it almost always leads to the Yankees beating the Twins in the Second Season.

Friday night in Game 1 of the ALDS the Yankees took advantage of first baseman C.J. Cron’s costly fielding miscue and savagely attacked the overmatched Twins bullpen for seven runs and two homers on the way to a 10-4 victory in front of Hal Steinbrenner and a sold-out Yankee Stadium crowd of 49,233.
