The American League Division Series has concluded with the Yankees sweeping the Twins in just three games. Entering the series, an avalanche of homers was expected, what with the way these two teams performed in the regular season. For the most part, though, both pitching staffs were able to keep the ball in the park. The Yankees blasted five homers, and the Twins four.
Because the balls weren’t flying the way many originally thought they would, both teams had to try to come up with runs in other ways. If it weren’t for Gleyber Torres and Didi Gregorius coming through in big spots, the series could have been closer.
