The Yankees prepared in the dark prior to Monday’s Game 3 of the American League Division Series, their collection of high-tech equipment having drained a wonky circuit breaker in the visiting clubhouse at Target Field. Four hours later, they turned the lights out on the Twins’ season.

Gleyber Torres cracked his first postseason home run and contributed two deft defensive plays, Luis Severino hurled four scoreless innings before turning the game over to the bullpen and the Yankees once again popped the corks after advancing to the American League Championship Series with a 5-1 victory, completing a series sweep of Minnesota.
