We knew Dominicans would play big roles in the post-season play of many teams, we never figured it would be this soon and this dramatic. The Minnesota Twins were playing a one-game playoff against the Detroit Tigers. The playoff was needed since both teams tied with their regular season records, with the winning team earning the Al Central title. The losing team would have a long winter ahead. The game started out with a tit for tat offense as the Twins matched every run. The game was tied 5-5 going into the 12th and the bases loaded for the Tigers. But the Tigers couldn't capitalize, leaving the door open for Alexi Casilla and Carlos Gomez to take care of business. Gomez got on base during the bottom half of the 12th, advanced to second base and scored on a single by Casilla. The win pushed the Twins into the playoffs and for a showdown with the New York Yankees in the first round of the playoffs.
