Perhaps feel-good stories are better left for the other big-league teams. When taking on the savage New York Yankees, only talent and production prevail.
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Randy Dobnak learned just that in Game 2 of the ALDS Saturday night. The former Uber driver who now finds himself in the thick of October couldn’t handle Aaron Boone’s lineup.
Dobnak relented four earned runs in just two innings of work and the big blow came after he already hit the showers. Didi Gregorius’s casual grand slam put the Bombers up 7-0 in the third.
They never looked back and eventually captured the game by a final of 8-2.
