The 2023 Yankees-Twins regular season tilt was unlike any in literal decades. Minnesota took two of three and won the season series for the first time in 20 years, but the standings tell a better story.
Both teams are 14-11 on the year but with one key difference. The Twins are first in the AL Central while the Yankees are fourth in the AL East and seven games behind the first-place Rays. It’s still late April with plenty of time to level out and any social media hysteria is exactly that.
The greater point is that even across two early season series, we have a good idea of how good these Twins are.
