While the Minnesota Twins expect to be in the postseason, they’re confident the defending World Series champion New York Yankees will be there as well. Facing the Yankees for the first time since getting swept in last season’s AL division series, the AL Central-leading Twins will try to snap an eight-game slide in the Bronx on Friday. Off to their best start since opening 29-12 in 2001, the Twins are looking at this weekend’s three-game set with New York as a barometer for where the team stands through the season’s first six weeks. The Twins, though, are looking for better results in this matchup than in 2009, when they dropped all 10, including three in the postseason. In its first visit to new Yankee Stadium, Minnesota was swept in a four-game set May 15-18. Three of those losses, though, came on walk-off hits. The Twins haven’t won at New York since a 6-2 victory July 4, 2007, and have lost seven straight overall in the regular season to the Yankees.

Francisco Liriano has moved past last season’s career-worst 5-13 record and has been the Twins’ most dominant starter. He is, however, looking to bounce back from a 7-3 loss to Baltimore on Saturday when he surrendered season highs of five runs and 10 hits. Liriano is 0-1 with a 3.18 ERA in two career starts against New York. Yankees right-hander A.J. Burnett is also trying to rebound from a tough outing after he was tagged for a career high-tying nine runs and nine hits in Sunday’s 9-3 loss in Boston. Burnett is 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA in two home starts, and the Yankees look for another solid start from him after losing three of four at Detroit. New York had four hits in Thursday’s 6-0 loss to the Tigers and batted just .199 in the final five games of its 3-4 trip. A return to Yankee Stadium could help Derek Jeter, who snapped an 0-for-16 slide Thursday with a first-inning single. Jeter is batting .396 with four homers and 14 RBIs at home.
