You never know when you’re going to have a Minnesota Twins moment. Once again I was watching You Tube when a Sept. 6, 1986, game between the Twins and Boston Red Sox popped up in my feed.

The Twins’ four-game losing streak is history after Pablo Lopez took the mound on Friday in Game 1 of a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Twins rallied, but the San Diego Padres rallied even harder on Tuesday to scoot past Minnesota for the 7-5 win and series win. The Cleveland Guardians outlasted the Yankees with a 6-run 12th inning the same day, but the Kansas City Royals lost, so the Twins and Royals remain tied at 70-56, 3.5 games... Continue Reading »

After Thursday’s disaster of a game, those same fans might be asking: How often can Fulmer and Lopez... Continue Reading »

The Twins dropped two of three games to the San Diego Padres and now come home, as many in Twins Territory have noted, to play 20 of 28 games at Target Field in August. But that might sound better than it actually looks, because although the Twins play the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals... Continue Reading »

Any takers out there for reliever Emilio Pagan? I have this vision that the front office tandem of Derek Falvey and Thad Levine, otherwise known as Falvey & Co on this blog, were busy working the phones after the Twins’ terrible loss in Cleveland Wednesday night, trying their best to shore up some holes in...

The Twins are 20-8 since a 4-8 start to the season in April, and victory No. 24 was a series-winning 9-2 blowout over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday.
