Twins win Central, face Houston on Tuesday
Despite losing 5-3 to the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday, the Twins still won the AL Central title because the Chicago White Sox lost again to the Chicago Cubs, 10-8. The Twins will now host the Houston Astros on Tuesday. I guess the Twins could be criticized for not winning the division outright on Sunday, but... Continue Reading »

Attention South Siders: Here come the Twins
The Twins moved within a half-game of the Chicago White Sox for the top spot in the AL Central after they, and the Cleveland Indians, rallied to beat their respective teams on Tuesday. The Twins topped the Tigers in 10 innings and the Tribe, incredibly, losing 3-1 going into the bottom of the 10th inning,... Continue Reading »

Twins win, return to postseason for 14th time in team history
This time the Twins scored first and piled on late to carve up the Cubs and clinch a playoff berth with an 8-1 victory on Saturday. The power show had been missing of late until Eddie Rosario hit a first-inning home run. The unrepentant Josh Donaldson hit one out as well, but it was Miguel... Continue Reading »

Twins sweep Tribe. Now, bring on the Chicago White Sox
It’s just what the doctor ordered: A three-game sweep, a nice cushion in the form of a 30-18 record and what would appear to be plenty of momentum as the Twins head to Chicago to play the White Sox and Cubs. But first there was Sunday’s game. The Twins rallied from a 3-0 deficit by... Continue Reading »

Twins split doubleheader with Cardinals. Will it be enough?
The Twins split a doubleheader with the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday, meaning they started the day 10 games over .500 after a Game 1 win, but ended the day nine games over .500 after a Game 2 loss. Will that nine-game cushion be enough? I ask that question because the Twins are about to... Continue Reading »

Twins take 2 from Tigers
Call it partial payback. After the Detroit Tigers swept three games from the Twins last week, the Twins swept a doubleheader on Friday at Target Field to gain a little payback from Gardy’s Guys. It will be even sweeter if they win all five games of this series, which continues Saturday, Sunday and Monday. In... Continue Reading »
