The Minnesota Twins are continuing their postseason baseball journey, marking a significant milestone for the team. It has been twenty years since they last reached this stage, and just last week, they won their first postseason series since 2002. While ending their long streak of disappointment is cause for celebration, the real challenge lies ahead.
What sets the Twins apart from other struggling franchises is that their victory in snapping an 18-game playoff losing streak did not drain their energy. Instead, it ignited a sense of euphoria and a feeling that this is just the beginning, rather than the end.
Now, the Twins have earned a ticket to face the defending World Series champions, the Houston Astros, in the ALDS. While the Twins had the upper hand in the regular season, defeating the Astros 4-2, October brings a different challenge.
The Astros have proven themselves over the last decade to be a force to be reckoned with in the postseason. They have built a team specifically for this purpose, and Minnesota knows they have their work cut out for them. However, for the first time in a long while, there is a glimmer of hope for the Twins.
In previous years, the Twins would enter a series like this against the Astros knowing their chances of survival were slim. But now, with a solid roster and a newfound strength in pitching, the Twins have a fighting chance. Young stars like Royce Lewis, along with defensive maestro Carlos Correa, have contributed to their success. It’s a different era for Twins baseball.
Despite the enormity of the challenge, the gap between the Twins and Astros doesn’t seem insurmountable. The Twins have an opportunity to prove themselves and make a statement.
If you want to catch Game 1 of the ALDS featuring the Minnesota Twins, here’s what you need to know:
Due to College Football Saturday, neither of today’s ALDS games will be airing on FOX. Instead, both games will be broadcasted on FS1.
Unfortunately, the Orioles-Rangers game has started late due to a rain delay, causing it to overlap with the Twins game. The start of the Twins-Astros game will be broadcasted on MLB Network and FS2, and once the Orioles-Rangers game concludes, the action will switch over to FS1.
