Twins win AL Central

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

Despite not showing their best stuff in the last series of the seaon against the White Sox, the Twins managed to win the AL central title over Detroit.  The Twins won the last of the three game series with Chicago this afternoon, and then stuck around to watch the Tigers/Royals game.  The Royals made an incredible 3-run comeback to beat Detroit in 12 innings, which pushed the Twins to clinch the AL Central title.  Read more about it all here.

On another up note, Joe Mauer won the MLB batting title with an average of .347.  He edged out Jeter and Sanchez to become the first AL catcher to ever win the title.
