The Smell of October Baseball (ALDS Game 2 Wrap, 10/8)
Fall is in the Minnesota air, and the Twins are headed back home with a split in Houston, which gives them a chance to clinch the ALDS this week at home. David, Dan and Hoges recap Minnesota's 6-2 win over the Houston Astros in Game 2 on Sunday, a resounding response led by starting pitcher Pablo Lopez and former Astros shortstop Carlos Correa. The boys recap the game inning by inning and highlight the work Minnesota's righties did against Houston pitcher Framber Valdez, including Kyle Farmer's first-ever postseason hit. They also praise Rocco Baldelli's feel for the game as he handled pinch hitting and the bullpen. Looking forward, they wonder whether Christian Vazquez will get a chance behind the plate, and they make their Puckett's Picks selections for Game 3. Thanks for listening, and go Twins.
