Oregon State man Trevor Larnach had the first multi-homer game of his young career and Pablo Lopez delivered seven shutout innings to win 6-0 and even the three-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals. In Friday’s Game 1 loss, the Twins couldn’t pitch or hit, but that was not the case on Saturday. Lopez struck... Continue Reading »

The Twins shook off their three-game losing streak in a big way on Wednesday, unloading on San Diego Padres pitching with 18 hits for an 11-4 win to salvage the final game of the series. Padres knuckleballer Matt Waldron never knew what hit him, serving up 10 runs on 12 hits across four-plus innings. Rather... Continue Reading »

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 »

You know it’s been a long night and lopsided game when Twins outfielder Matt Wallner makes arguably the best pitching appearance of the contest.

They can’t all be dramatic home runs, right? Wednesday was... Continue Reading »

It wasn’t a sweep, but the Twins still picked up their sixth straight series win by taking two of three games from the woeful Chicago White Sox, the worst team in baseball. The Twins won the first game, the second game was postponed due to rain, and then the two teams regrouped Wednesday to play... Continue Reading »

Well, at least we know this much: the Twins can score a grand total of five runs and still win games. They did it twice against the Seattle Mariners, winning 5-1 and 5-3 over the weekend, and they did it once more Tuesday night in a 5-3 win versus the Detroit Tigers, the first of...

It’s a good thing the Twins earned a series win over the Houston Astros on Sunday because there’s a better than average chance they are going to get swept in the Bronx when they start a three-game set Tuesday versus Gotham, also known as the New York Yankees. The Twins were swept at home by... Continue Reading »
