Twins Fans To Break Out The Beat The Yankees Hankies?

The Minnesota Twins have been bad this season. But, they’ve been somewhat better as of late – splitting their last 24 games after being on a run where they were a miserable 8-19.
Since 2002, during the regular season, the Yankees have beaten the Twins 53 times in 73 games.
And, we know what the Yankees did to the Twins in the 2003, 2004, 2009 and 2010 ALDS.
The Twins players may not care if they beat the Yankees in this current series at Target Field. But, I bet the Twins fans would love to see their team really screw with the Yankees quest to finish in first place this season.
FWIW, the Twins have won exactly one series against a team with a winning record all season long; they took 2 of 3 from the Reds during interleague.
The did split with the Yanks in April at the Stadium, though.
2 out of 3 is fine.
Think Kevin Long can convince the hitters to occasionally choke up on the bat when a single or ground-out would drive a run in? Any thoughts on an old trick?
