The Minnesota Twins have assumed the New York Yankees would be their matchup for the Wild Card game since they were more sure of their own destination as the 2nd Wild Card team, but a surge from the Yankees and late-season swoon by the Red Sox left that in flux until today.
Now what?
The Minnesota Twins can now prepare for the New York Yankees on Tuesday, October 3rd, at 7PM CT. on ESPN. Ervin Santana has already been announced as the starter for the Twins, and Jose Berrios has worked in relief to prepare to possibly pitch in relief on Tuesday as well.
