LAA Angels (8) defeat the Minnesota Twins (9) in 4 games

Game 1 - LAA 8, MIN 4
Twins take a 4-3 lead into the bottom of the 8th. But suddenly the Halos' bats game alive, including HRs by Shoei Ohtani, Upton and Kinsler. LAA scores 5 times to win going away 8-4.  Cam Bedrosian gets the win in relief. Trevor May takes the loss.

Game 2 - LAA 3, MIN 1
Angels starter Jaime Barria tosses 6 strong innings, yielding only 4 hits and 1 run to get the win, with the help of 3 scoreless innings of bullpen help from 4 relievers.  A David Fletcher RBI single and a Shohei Ohtani bases-loaded walk provide all the offense that Barria needs. Twins starter Kyle Gibson takes the tough-luck loss.

Game 3 - MIN 4, LAA 2
LAA takes an early 2-0 lead behind solo HRs by Albert Pujols and Jose Fernandez. But the Twins erupt for 4 runs in the bottom of the 2nd inning against LAA starter Tyler Skaggs. Max Kepler's double and Jorge Polanco's 2-run single are the key hits to do most of the damage. Strong pitching on both sides shut down the hiters from that point on, Minnesota finishing on top. Kohl Stewart tosses a brilliant 5 innings of scoreless relief to pick up the win. Skaggs takes the loss.   

Game 4 - LAA 5, MIN 4 (12)
Minnesota looks to tie the series at 2 games, and appears to have it within their grasp. HRs by Eddie Rosario and Max Kepler give the Twins a 4-1 lead which they keep going to the top of the 8th thanks to a very strong 7-inning, 1-run start from Adalberto Mejia. Once again Shohei Ohtani works a bases-loaded walk to make it 4-2, but that was all the Angels can muster.  Fernando Rodney comes in to shut the door and retires the first batter. But Aldrelton Simmons launches a 2-run shot that suddenly ties the game and 4.  The game stays on edge through scoreless 10th, and 11th innings. But in the top of the 12th, Justin Upton doubles with 2 outs and Eric Young Jr knocks him in with a single. Keynan Middleton almost gives it right back, yielding a lead off double to Eddie Rosario in the bottom of the 12th. But he retires the next 3 hitters to preserve the victory and give series for the Halos.  Angels end up using 20 hitters and 10 pitchers!
