MINNEAPOLIS — For the second time in three years, the New York Yankees are heading to the ALCS after defeating the Twins, 5-1, and sweeping their best-of-five American League Division Series.
It was just three games but it’s a good start to a postseason for a team that is chasing its first championship since 2009.
For Minnesota, it is yet another season that ends in heartbreak after being eliminated by New York yet again. They also become the first 100-win team to be swept in the Division Series after being dominated by the Yankees this year.
The Bombers got the scoring started with a second inning Gleyber Torres solo home run, his first of the postseason.
