NY Yankees First to Punch Through

October 8, 2019

Gleyber Torres cracked his first postseason home run and contributed two deft defensive plays, Luis Severino hurled four scoreless innings before turning the game over to the bullpen and the Yankees once again popped the corks after advancing to the American League Championship Series with a 5-1 victory, completing a series sweep of Minnesota.

“Tonight we’ll enjoy the celebration and everything,” Torres said, a river of Budweiser traveling down the collar of his T-shirt. “But the next day we’ll go to the ballpark, focusing on what we want. We’ll be ready for everything, ready for the next series and try to focus on doing the same thing – winning games.”

The Twins’ had spoken about it being “time to slay the dragon” of the Yankees’ postseason dominance, but the gotham monster is alive and well. Manager Aaron Boone and his club will now await the winner of the other ALDS between the Astros and Rays, with Houston leading that best-of-five series, 2-1.
