After the Twins clinched an American League Division title, players kept insisting this was a different type of Twins team. Two games into the postseason and they have a fanbase full of believers.
One day after they vanquished the franchise's 18-game postseason losing streak, they won their first postseason series in 21 years.
Strong pitching, as it did throughout the regular season, carried the Twins into the American League Division Series after they dispatched the Toronto Blue Jays with a 2-0 victory on Wednesday at Target Field, sweeping the best-of-three wild-card series.
It's the first time the Twins won a postseason series since they advanced to the American League Championship Series in 2002, snapping an eight-series playoff losing streak that doesn't include a wild-card game loss in 2017.
