For the first time since 2001, the Twins won the season series with the New York Yankees after taking two of three this week at Target Field. David's giddiness over the victory can hardly be contained, though Dan is a bit more tempered. Both wish they had tried harder to win Game 3, when Rocco Baldelli sent the B squad out, along with a clearly ailing Kenta Maeda. Nevertheless, they celebrate the big hits and important pitching performances in the first two games, including the play of Byron Buxton and Joey Gallo, who finally got a chance to play against the Yankees. Dan rants about the ticker and Dick Bremer's near-spoiler on Tuesday, while David asks whether this pitching staff could finally be the one to win not just a playoff game but an entire series. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
