Show Notes

The Minnesota Twins have finally broken the streak of 18-straight playoff losses. The Twins defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 in front a roaring fanbase at Target Field and now look to continue their postseason by winning the series. The boys discuss all the action from game one including the monster that is Royce Lewis, Polanco's struggles at 3rd base, Michael A. Taylor's incredible defense, and the solid performance from Pablo Lopez. The guys are curious who will be available out of the pen for game two, and David wants to know how much more this victory meant to the Twins fanbase as opposed to other teams that won game one in their respective series. The guys finish up by grading the game and making their Puckett's Picks for game two. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
