NEW YORK -- It was an unforgettable, fun and historic season that saw the Twins become the first team to go from losing more than 100 games one year to making the postseason the next year. But it ended with a familiar result against the Yankees.
Minnesota built early momentum with a three-run lead in the first, but it wasn't enough in an 8-4 loss at Yankee Stadium that dropped the Twins to 2-13 all-time against New York in postseason play. But in the visiting clubhouse there was no sulking, as the players were in good spirits and took turns going around the clubhouse hugging each other.
