Bronx, NY ( Learfield News Service) - The Minnesota Twins take on the New York Yankees in the American League wild card game Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.
Ervin Santana will start for Minnesota. The veteran right-hander is 16-8 with a 3.28 earned run average this season. New York counters with Luis Severino, who is 14-6 with a 2.98 E-R-A.
