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...

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 »

The schedule Gods have not been kind to the Minnesota Twins to wind down the season. They lost series to the White Sox, Tigers and Guardians, including a 9-2 kick in the mouth from the Guards on Sunday, and then Gotham pulled into town Monday and did what the New York Yankees have been doing...

A week ago the Minnesota Twins lost 7-4 to the Chicago White Sox at home to drop them seven games under .500 at 64-71.

The Twins avoided being swept at home on Sunday, getting eight-plus strong innings from starter Daniel Zebulon Matthews to beat the Chicago White Sox 5-1.

The Twins have no business losing to this team. The A’s are nearly 30 games... Continue Reading »

After a terrible sweep at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies, the Twins have shaken off their National League struggles with a series win over the Atlanta Braves, including Tuesday’s 4-1 win. The American League is so bunched up that with those two wins, the Twins now find themselves in second place in the AL... 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 »

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 »
