The 2013 ALCS features two teams that met in last years Divisional Playoffs, with
Minnesota sweeping the A's 4-0. Oakland manager Doug Glanville had to cringe a bit
when he saw the matchup after slipping by Keith Jackson's formidable Red Sox.
Minnesota owner Keith Lipscomb guided his 2013 Twins to a 98-64 record a year after
winning the championship. "We ran into a bit of a buzz saw last year with these guys",
groused Glanville. "We had a feeling they might go on and win the whole thing, and
they did. They certainly had our number last year, and you never want to run into
King Felix more than once in a short series."
Game 1 Lilly (7-1 3.15) vs CC Sabathia (15-10 2.93)
Game 1 featured Oakland's defacto ace CC Sabathia matching up against tough left-hander
Ted Lilly... An inauspicious start for the hometown Athletics as Minnesota shortstop
led off the game with a deep homer to left center. The score stayed 1-0 until the
bottom of the 6th when the A's rallied for 2 against Twins starter Ted Lilly, BJ Upton
plating 2 with a bases loaded single. The Twins would tie the game at two in the top of
the 8th, Curtis Granderson leading off the frame with a solo blast against Sabathia.
The game would push on to extra innings, where Hunter Pence scored on a game winning
double from Willie Bloomquist against original Athletic Brett Myers... Minnesota 3,
Oakland 2 (Minn leads 1-0)
