The Twins will host the Houston Astros today for Game 3 of their best of 5 ALDS series at 3:07 this afternoon, pregame on WJON at 2:00. Game 4 is currently scheduled for 1:07 p.m. Wednesday but that time could change if the Texas Rangers close out the Baltimore Orioles tonight in Texas.

The Twins will play the Houston Astros in the best of 5 American Legion Divisional Playoffs starting Saturday.

The Twins are back to back American League Central Division champs after the White Sox lost to the Cubs Sunday. The Twins lost 5-3 in 10 innings to the Reds Sunday but finish the regular season 36-24 and will head into the American League Wildcard playoffs as the #3 seed.

The World Series goes to Game 7 tonight when Washington plays at Houston. The road team has won every game in this season including Tuesday night's win for the Nationals over the Astros.

The Nationals swept the Cardinals in the NLCS Tuesday night and now await the winner of the Astros/Yankees series. The Astros lead that series 2 games to 1. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today.

The Twins lost 10-5 Friday night to the Astros in Houston. Twin's starter Jose' Berrios (8-3) lasted only 1.2 innings and gave up 2 earned, and 5 unearned runs.

The Houston Astros hit two grand slams to cruise to a 14-5 victory over the Twins on Sunday.
