Lavelle Neal, who covers the Twins for the Star Tribune, talks about the Minnesota Twins winning American League Division Series against Oakland A’s…and what lies ahead in American League Championship Series against Anaheim Angels.
The Minnesota Twins improbable season continues with Game 1 of the American League Championship Series scheduled at the Metrodome. The Twins advanced to the ALCS with a 5-4 victory over the Oakland A's in the deciding game of their series. The Twins built a four run lead going into the bottom of the ninth inning, only to see closer Eddie Guardado give up a three run homer. But that was all Oakland got and the Twins hung on for the victory.
