With nothing at stake, the Twins pulled off a convincing win on Sunday by beating the Los Angeles Angels, 8-0, to earn a split of the four-game series. The Halos walked-off the Twins twice while Minnesota shut out the California club twice. It should’ve been a sweep, given that the Angels are the worst team... Continue Reading »

Twins outfielder Alan Roden came into Wednesday’s rubber match with the Baltimore Orioles hitting .192, and I was about to start calling for his head if he had another poor showing at the plate. But those calls have been put on hold after Roden went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a run scored, an RBI and... Continue Reading »

After the worst loss of the season on Friday, an anemic, two-hit effort against the West Sacramento A’s (or whatever you want to call them) — a team that has allowed an AL-worst 582 runs — the Twins bounced back with a 2-0 shutout win of their own on Saturday. Although the Twins now have... Continue Reading »

The Twins survived a dominant performance from Cleveland Guardians pitcher Gavin Williams, then scored three runs off one of the league’s best bullpens to edge the Guards in a classic Minnesota/Cleveland nail-biter 3-1 in 12 innings on Thursday.

Still, Abel, a former first-round pick of the Philadelphia Phillies who came to Minnesota last season in exchange for closer Jhoan Duran, has pitched well... Continue Reading »

I don’t care if it’s a pick-up game, a softball game, or some kind of private exhibition at either Yankee Stadium or Target Field. Anytime the Twins can run up the score on the New York Yankees is cause for celebration. So break out the party hats and funny whistles because on Thursday the Twins... Continue Reading »

I will not read too much into spring training, I will not read too much into spring training, I will not… you know what? Never mind. This team wasn’t very good in 2024, less so in 2025 and now here comes the new season and so far I am equally unimpressed with this team as... Continue Reading »

The Twins won the finale over the Cleveland Guardians and they did it again Tuesday with a 4-1 win on the road against the Texas Rangers. Starting pitching Daniel Zebulon Matthews bounced back in a huge way after he had a terrible outing against the New York Yankees. Zebby allowed just a run, a first-inning... Continue Reading »
