With the Yankees holding homefield edge in the five-game series, the Twins clearly needed to get the road split and avoid heading back home down 0-2. They lost game one, and hope was finally drained empty in game two, in the third inning, when Didi Gregorius hit a grand slam home run to make it 7-0 Yankees.
