The Yankees have completely swept the Twins this season. They have won every single game against Minnesota. Set's take a look at the pwnage game by game.
Yankee Stadium 4 Game set with Minnesota:
May 15: Yankees win 5-4. Gardner hits an inside the park home run and Melky gets the walkoff hit and pie.
May 16: Yankees win 6-4. A-Rod homers in the 11th, pied in the face. Tex has another good game.
May 17: Yankees win 3-2. Damon gets the walkoff homer. And pie.
May 18: Yankees win 7-6. More damage done by Tex, who accumulates more RBIs than both M&M brothers in the series.
Metrodome 3 Game set with Minnesota:
June 7: Yankees win 10-2. The NY bats explode. Gardner dashes all around the bases. CC shuts down the opposition. The Twins look outclassed.
June 8: Yankees win 4-3. AJ follows CC with a gritty performance.
June 9: Yankees win 6-4. Tex homers, Gardner and Ransom get two RBIs each, and the Yankees finish the season sweep.
By the way, the Yankees have won 8 straight road games, the best streak they've had as a team since...
1998.
As I've always said, road wins demonstrate mental toughness. It's early to say this Yankee team is as tough as the 1998 team (the greatest all-around team in baseball history) but they're showing us something.
And the Yankees are tied with Boston for first place. Solo first at the All-Star break would make quite a statement, don't you think?
Projected Record for road trip: 3-3
Target record for road trip: 4-2
Result 3-0
Games remaining: 3
Games over .500: 17 (High water mark for the year, and tied with Boston for first place)
