The Minnesota Twins have this baby wrapped up with plenty of time to spare.
Denard Span's RBI-single highlighted a four-run eighth inning to rally the Twins to a 6-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.
The thrilling, come-from-behind win coupled with the Chicago White Sox's 7-2 loss in Oakland made the Twins the first team in the majors to clinch a division title this season.
"I'm thinking this may be a good thing for us going forward into the postseason," Span said of clinching with 11 games to go.
The Twins lost to the White Sox in Game 163 in 2008 to miss out on the postseason, then capped a rally from seven games down in September last year by beating the Detroit Tigers in a one-game playoff to get in. But they didn't have much energy left after the exhausting run and were swept by the Yankees in the first round. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
