The New York Yankees record holder became the first team to secure a place in both Major League Baseball Finals. The 27-time World Series champion qualifies for the crucial playoff game in the American League, clearing Minnesota Twins 3-0 in the divisional series.
In game 3 this morning, the Yankees overtook themselves 5-1 as guests at Target Field in Minneapolis and prolonged the suffering of local fans. For the Twins, this was the 16th straight loss of the regular season, an absolute record in Major League history. Minnesota has not won a playoff game for 15 years, with the team qualifying six times during that time. Ironically, the black cat in front of the team is New York Yankees, who inflicted 13 of these 16 consecutive defeats.
The twins` sad streak began in the AL divisional series in 2004, precisely against the Bronx `drafted`, who lost the first game and then won the playoffs 3-1 as our free prediction advised before. The Twins are followed by first-round eliminations of 0-3 against the Oakland Atletico (2006) and New York Yankees (2009, 2010), a wild card loss against New York Yankees (2017) and again 0-3 against New York Yankees(2019).
Prior to this season, Minnesota ranked No. 1 in the longest non-playoff streak in Major League Baseball with the Boston Red Sox, who had 13 consecutive losses (1986-1995). The third such longest running series is 10 games shared by three teams -;Milwaukee / Atlanta Braves (1958-1991), Kansas City Royals (1980-1985) and Texas Rangers (1996-1999).
Pitcher Luis Severino started on the Yankees for the Yankees and closed 4 innings without a point after getting out of a full bases situation with no outs in the 2nd. Five Rivals finished the match -;Tommy Kainley, Adam Otavino, Chad Green (W 1-0), Zach Britton (H 2) and Aroldis Chapman (S 1).
Jake Odoritz (L 0-1) starts for the hosts of the hill, who scored 2 5-hit points in 5 innings, including a homer by Gliber Torres in the 2nd. Cameron Mabin also took the solo lap ball in the 9th, while the other points for the guests came with single hits -;one to Brett Gardner in 3rd and two to Didi Gregorius in 7th and 9th. The honorary point for Twins was scored by Eddie Rosario with a home run in the 8th inning.
The Yankees have four days to rest until the start of the AL Finals, which opens on Saturday (October 12th). In the meantime, the Houston Astros and Tampa Bay Reis have to determine the New Yorkers` rival, with the Astronauts having a 2-1 win in the second division series.
The Houston supervisor missed closing the playoffs late last night, allowing a 3:10 defeat at his first visit to Tropicana Field St. in St. Petersberg. Game 4 is also in Florida tonight, and the eventual decider will be Thursday on the Astros ground;`Mini Maid Park`.
Match 5 will be in both divisional series in the National League after the St. Louis Cardinals beat Atlanta Braves 5:4 for 10 innings at home tonight and the Washington Nationals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1. as a host. With a score of 2-2, both playoffs will find their full-scale outcome tomorrow night at Sun Trust Park in Atlanta and Dodger at AL.
