THE TWINS TAKE CONTROLSeptember 23 (MIN 4, SFG 2):
The atmosphere was heavy, and the Twins played it cool. Luke Keaschall set the tone early, launching a solo home run to left field to put Minnesota on the board. The Giants answered back with some surgical precision in the fourth; Shay Whitcomb delivered a clutch two-RBI single to right, driving in Bo Davidson and Andrew Knizner to flip the script. But here is where the gears shifted: the momentum swung back to the visitors when Keaschall followed up his earlier heroics with a sacrifice fly to center. That kept the pressure on. By the seventh, the Giants simply ran out of answers. Walker Jenkins poked a single to right to bring Kody Clemens home, and then Josh Bell hammered a line drive to center to score Walker Jenkins. Two quick hits, two runs, game over. The Twins walked away with the win through sheer situational execution.
A HEARTBREAKING FINISHSeptember 22 (MIN 3, SFG 2):
This one was a chess match played with high-velocity projectiles. San Francisco struck first via a tactical Drew Cavanaugh sacrifice bunt that moved Scott Bandura along and scored Shay Whitcomb. However, the sixth inning turned into a nightmare for the home side. Luke Keaschall turned on a sharp fly ball for a triple to center, and Brooks Lee followed up with a ground ball single to bring Keaschall home. Just when things looked level, Walker Jenkins sent a solo home run to right field in the seventh to put Minnesota ahead. The Giants refused to die, though. In the ninth, Brett Harris crossed the plate on a Jonah Cox fielder's choice, but the comeback stalled out at third base. A single missed opportunity left the Twins standing tall.
THE GIANTS' EXPLOSIONSeptember 21 (MIN 2, SFG 5):
Talk about an opening salvo! The Giants came out swinging like they had something to prove. Brett Harris ignited the crowd with a two-RBI single in the first, and Drew Gilbert kept the onslaught going in the second with a line drive single to left that drove in Osleivis Basabe and Christian Koss. Suddenly, it was a 4-0 blowout. The Twins tried to claw back, sparked by a massive Brooks Lee solo home run in the fourth, but the Giants weren't done. Drew Gilbert answered his own earlier RBI with a towering solo home run to right field. Even after Emmanuel Rodriguez launched a solo shot to center in the eighth, the damage was done. San Francisco dominated this one from the jump.
