The Twins were rumored to be sellers prior to the trade deadline, and I think many expected the club to deal a handful of players. But no one saw this coming. The Twins have said goodbye to 10 players, with most of the deals happening on Thursday, including the once untradeable Carlos Correa, who the... Continue Reading »

The Twins had to wait through a 90-minute, ninth-inning rain delay in their Game 1 matchup against the Boston Red Sox on Monday, but they finally emerged in the home half of the inning to load the bases, then Brooks Lee singled home two runs for the 5-4 walk-off win.

The bad news rolls on for the Twins as they lost their sixth straight game on Wednesday, a ridiculous, rain-shortened affair won by the Cincinnati Reds, 4-2. Why ridiculous?

They had all of three hits in Sunday’s loss to the Royals and five more in... Continue Reading »

The good news is that the Twins keep on winning. They won in walk-off fashion on Friday and they did it all over again on Saturday, scoring a 5-4 win over the Kansas City Royals. The Twins go for the three-game sweep on Sunday. There’s still a lot of baseball to be played before the... Continue Reading »

The Twins have done it again, making it back-to-back 12-game winning streaks in 2024 and 2025. The current streak: Two wins over Boston, three-game sweeps against the Baltimore Orioles, San Francisco Giants and O’s, followed by a Game 1 win versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night. Again, the Twins did just enough with the... Continue Reading »
