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 took an early lead, capitalized on several walks and then held on for a rare 10-7 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. It was only the third time in franchise history that the Twins have beaten the Dodgers on their home ground, radio play-by-play voice Kris Atteberry said during the game.... Continue Reading »

The Twins have been outscored 46-16 over their last four games — all losses, of course — including Monday’s 11-2 defeat to the M’s in Game 1 of a four-game series.

The Twins earned a 3-1 walk-off win over the Royals Friday night to cap a strange five days of mostly no baseball. The Twins were supposed to play on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but Mother Nature definitely had other plans. Monday’s game was suspended because of rain, then Tuesday’s game was a complete washout, which... Continue Reading »

After the Twins won 12 straight last season, they... Continue Reading »

The Twins’ winning streak reached lucky No. 13 on Saturday with another shut out victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Three more wins and the Twins will break the team record of 15 straight victories, which was set in the World Series-winning season of 1991.
