The Twins won their final series of the 2026 season over the Texas Rangers, including a 6-4 win on Sunday. The Twins wrap things up with a 77-85 record, good enough for third place in the American League Central. Was it a good season? In many ways, yes. After the Twins traded away all of...

As I said in my previous post, I urged the Twins to make hay against the Baltimore Orioles because they are about to face three good National League teams in the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres. Why is this so important? The Twins are 13-23 against the National League this season, according... Continue Reading »

The Twins won again on Tuesday, getting a 3-1 victory at home over the never-easy-to-beat Cleveland Guardians. That’s three wins in a row for Minnesota. They also are 7-3 in their last three games, two games under .500, three games back in the AL Central division and 1.5 games back in the Wild Card hunt.... Continue Reading »

A day after the Twins committed some embarrassing errors in an 8-6 loss to the Kansas City Royals, the team bounced back on Friday with some strong defensive play from the outfield and a quality start from Daniel Zebulon Matthews to edge the Royals, 5-3.

The Game 1 win was the first of a 10-game road trip... Continue Reading »

Byron Buxton remains day-to-day with right hip soreness, and it really shows because the Twins have clearly missed his spark in back-to-back one-run losses to the Milwaukee Brewers. Despite terrific starting pitching in both games, the offense was not equal to the task as the Twins lost 3-2 on Friday and 2-1 Saturday. The one... Continue Reading »

The Twins bullpen held on for a 2-1 win Saturday and then they did it all over again 5-4 on Sunday to give the team its first series win at Cleveland in nearly three years. The two teams were tied at 1-1 in the 3rd inning and then the Twins went to work in the... Continue Reading »

The good times don’t last long, do they?

It’s not... Continue Reading »
