| Matt Garza goes the distance for the Twins, who get the 7-2 win despite being outhit by the Red Sox. The Twins clinch the AL Central with the win and will face the Red Sox in the ALDS. The Red Sox and Twins faced off in the ALCS in both 2002 and 2003, with the Red Sox winning both series in 5 games. The Twins are hoping for a return to the World Series, which they lost in 6 games to the Astros in 2006. The Red Sox are also hoping to return to the World Series, which they won in 2002 and lost in 2001, 2003 and 2004. The Twins would have won the division even if they had lost this game, since the Indians lost 5-2 to the Royals. The Twins replacing the Indians is the only difference from the real 2007 playoff teams. The Yankees play the Angels in the other ALDS. |
