2017: The postseason opens with the AL Wild Card game between the Twins and the Yankees at the Stadium. As expected, the Yankees win, 8-4, although the game doesn't go according to script: the Twins score 3 runs in the 1st and chase starter Luis Severino after only one out, after he gives up long balls to Brian Dozier and Eddie Rosario. But Twins starter Ervin Santana is not any better, as he allows a three-run blast to Didi Gregorius in the bottom of the 1st and is taken out after two innings, having given up another homer to Brett Gardner. The Yankees then win the battle of the bullpens, as their relievers ring up 13 strikeouts in 8 innings, while the Yankees continue to score, including a two-run shot by Aaron Judge off Jose Berrios in the 4th.
