The Twins typically represent the cure for whatever is ailing the Bombers, but for a night, the Yankees weren’t able to provide the beatdown they typically bring to Minnesota. Instead, their 7-0 loss one of their more deflating of recent vintage, a no-show against a team that stripped itself for parts over the summer and is limping to the finish line. New York’s division odds are remote at this point, but they still need to bounce back and close out strong to clinch a playoff spot and secure favorable
seeding for the early rounds.
On the site today, we’ll continue our rundown of the state of the playoff races across the league, as Michael checks in on the NL East, Nick reviews the situation in the NL Central, and Sam takes a look at the NL West. Also, Peter will run down Monday night’s AL action, Jeff tackles the 2000 Yankees diary, and Nolan reviews last week on the Yankees farm, with just two affiliates left in action.
