The Minnesota Twins made a change to a longtime policy at Target Field this season, and are now one of only four teams in Major League Baseball to do so.
Minnesota, which had lost 13 of its previous 16 games against the Yankees, had its highest-scoring inning against New York in a top of the first that took 28 minutes.

While the Twins were wrapping up Spring Training earlier this year, shortstop Carlos Correa was celebrating by buying a $7.5 million home on Lake Minnetonka.
