MINNEAPOLIS- It was one for the ages in game seven of the 2013 ALCS between the Minnesota Twins and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The Twins won 3-2 in 11 innings to advance to the World Series.

After cruising through three innings, Cole De Vries made one mistake to Albert Pujols, who hit a 423 foot home run to left-center. It was the one mistake De Vries made in an otherwise great seven innings. He was out-dueled by Tommy Hanson on the other side, who threw 6.1 scoreless innings. It then became a bullpen game.

Things looked bleak for Minnesota when, in the bottom of the eight, Brian Dozier hit a 2-1 fastball off the face of the second deck in left field to tie the game. Jared Burton ran into trouble in the top of the ninth, but he got Pujols to strike out and Josh Hamilton to line out to the first baseman Nick Swisher to get out of a jam.

As well as the first nine innings ended for the Twins, the start of extras was bad. Casey Fien tried to freeze Howie Kendrick with a slider, but Kendrick hit one out to left field to give the Angels a 2-1 lead in the tenth inning when Chris Parmalee stepped to the plate. Just two pitches into the inning, Parmalee tied the game with a solo shot to right field. After Glen Perkins pitched a scoreless top of the eleventh, the Twins had a chance to win it. After Mauer got out to lead off the inning, Josh Willingham hit a walk-off solo home run to left field to send the Twins on to the World Series, where they'll play the San Francisco Giants.

ATLANTA- The Minnesota Twins came out on top in an interleague game against an unfamiliar opponent in the Atlanta Braves. The Twins moved to 25-19 on the season and are surprisingly in first place in the AL Central. Neither pitcher was great in this game, but Scott Diamond was the better of the two starters. Diamond gave up three runs in six innings pitched as he picked up the win to improve to 4-3 on the season.

The Twins started the scoring in the first inning when Aaron Hicks scored on an error on a Joe Mauer ground ball to Freddie Freeman. The Braves then came back with two runs of their own on a home run from Dan Uggla. After Minnesota scored to tie it at 2, Brian McCann hit a solo home run to make it a 3-2 game. The Twins tied it up just a few innings later on a sac fly by Chris Parmalee that scored Trevor Plouffe, and Aaron Hicks followed up a double by Scott Diamond with one of his own to give Minnesota a 4-3 lead. They went on to win by that same score as Glen Perkins came in to pick up his 16th save of the season.
