The 2019 Twins entered the postseason with a reputation as road warriors. The team went 55-26 on the road, good for a .679 winning percentage. “It’s been fun to watch,” skipper Rocco Baldelli explained to La Velle E. Neal III last week. “That part of it has been more exciting on a day-to-day basis … We were one of the best road teams in the history of baseball.”
That record didn’t help at Yankee Stadium, though. The Twins dropped the first two games of the ALDS in the Bronx, getting outscored by 12 runs in the process.
