It was a Battle At The Bat Rack as everybody wanted a chance at Detroit’s depleted pitching staff.
Detroit’s pitching injuries meant that they had two Bullpen Games in the last four days. They needed rookie Keider Montero to eat some innings. He didn’t. The Twins had 13 hits, four walks, and four dingers.
Meanwhile, Pablo López needed to continue the mojo of last Saturday’s strong start. He did!
It was too early for true TwinkieTown...
The Minnesota Twins are in position to be buyers this season. With the trade deadline just days away, they’ll likely move a couple of prospects. A midseason rankings update shows just how good their group is.

The Twins enter the three-game series with the Detroit Tigers with a 56-45 record four and a half games back in the American League Central Division. After this weekend in Detroit, they will head to New York to play the Mets, before heading home to take on the Chicago White Sox.
There have been few players across baseball that have made a greater per-game impact this season than Royce Lewis. Out with an adductor strain since early July, he’s ready to make an impact down the stretch.
The Minnesota Twins returned infielder Royce Lewis from his rehab assignment on Friday and reinstated him from the 10-day injured list. Lewis, 25, missed the Twins' last 16 games with a right adductor strain.

The Twins likely won’t be trading for a reliever, but here’s some good options if they do.
Given the oft-reported payroll constraints the Twins will be facing at the deadline, I don’t think it’s very likely there’s a reliever worth trading for at the deadline. Let’s get that part of the way first. However, that’s also a testament to the relative strength of the bullpen, even after Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax have struggled in the past...
The Minnesota Twins won a series against the team with the majors' best record this week. They could add a couple of reinforcements during their weekend series against the Detroit Tigers that begins on Friday night.

More developments in this ongoing saga that probably won’t change anything for the Twins
The trade deadline is next Tuesday, July 30 at 6 p.m. Eastern time, and the Twins, 5.0 games back of 1st place Cleveland and in a wild card position as of this writing, should be looking to add to their roster. However, the paths for Derek Falvey to make meaningful additions to a contending...

A-Rod & Tek go at it and rekindle baseball’s greatest rivalry
I consider 2004 to be one of the most magical baseball summers of my life. While the Minnesota Twins going 92-70 to capture the AL Central crown certainly played a large role in that, the fabled rivalry between the New York Yankees & Boston Red Sox began to take center stage after the All-Star Break.
Because 2004 is now two decades in the rear view mirror, younger Twinkie Town fans may not recall the...
The Twins went into play today with a 56-45 record and have split the two game series with the Philadelphia Phillies. They will now head to Detriot to take on the Tigers.
There’s no telling what the Minnesota Twins will do ahead of the July 30 MLB trade deadline. As usual, most signs point to the front office doing next to nothing.
Max Kepler hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the Minnesota Twins to a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday afternoon in Minneapolis.

The Twins come back in the final three frames!
Well it’s not that fun or very nice
To watch a losing team;
We need a win today we can celebrate
And watch our faces beam.
Can we do it? It’s unbearable:
Guess we’ll wait and see,
Believing.
Wallner’s long homer will never land,
The Twins are up again.
And David Festa’s four and a third in hand;
Two early STUDly men.
But the stress remains unbearable:
Still we wait and see,
Believing.
Trailing,
Worried to...
Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton left Wednesday afternoon's game against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies ahead of the eighth inning due to a right forearm contusion.
There are a lot of things that the Minnesota Twins are, leading up to the MLB trade deadline. They are playoff and division contenders. They are pitching deprived.

Are we sure there are 26 on this roster?
First Pitch: 12:10 PM CDTGame like any other, trying so hard just to play,
But one day after another, never sent into the fray.
Knowing you’re on the team, but on the bench incessantly
Makes you feel like a zero, a somber depressant gloomy.
We want to ball,
Swing the bat and hear the call.
But one man at the...
