The Yankees and Twins playing each other is very often an ALDS preview and this first four-game series sure was.
There was just one key difference this time. Unlike most series, the Twins showed up and took the first two games. The best part, both teams face off again at Target Field in a week’s time and New York had better be prepared.
This Minnesota team didn’t act like it played in a weak division. They had swagger and focus and still played hard even with key players injured. It’s too early to say this is a playoff preview, but both teams sure played with that intensity.
