The Twins have a straight doubleheader today where they will try to extend their winning streak to 10.
It’s two-for-one Wednesday as the Twins will try to extend their winning streak to 10 with a couple of wins this afternoon. It’s a straight doubleheader, meaning game two will start 30 minutes after the first game ends.
Game OneGame one will be Bailey Ober versus Dean Kremer. Ober’s last start also came against Baltimore where he labored...
The Minnesota Twins will play two games today after rain postponed their series opener against the Baltimore Orioles yesterday. Minnesota is 8-2 in May and currently riding an eight-game winning streak entering today.
The Minnesota Twins and Baltimore Orioles should be well-rested going into a busy day. The teams will play a traditional doubleheader Wednesday, starting in the early afternoon, to begin a three-game series.
The Baltimore Orioles' home game Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins was postponed due to inclement weather. Instead, the teams will play a traditional doubleheader Wednesday to kick off their three-game series.
It took about a month for the Minnesota Twins to get on track, with some of that momentum generated last week against the Baltimore Orioles. The teams meet again, beginning a three-game series Tuesday night in Baltimore.

Eight sounds great!
The Twins are now one of the hottest teams in baseball, sweeping the Baltimore Orioles to start the week and finishing off the San Francisco Giants this weekend to improve to 21-20 and maintain their eight-game winning streak. DaShawn Keirsey Jr. hit a walk-off single to left field in the 10th inning on Sunday, finishing a wild 7-6 game. They are still 4th in the AL Central, which speaks to how good the division has been this...

Game-of-the-year candidate!
The Minnesota Twins came into this beautiful Mother’s Day afternoon contest looking to put the finishing touches on a Target Field sweep of the San Francisco Giants. It took a rollercoaster, game-of-the-year candidate, 3+ hours of baseball to decide the fate, but at the end of the day: Mission Accomplished!

A .500 record might not seem like much to an observer of the standings. However, for the Minnesota Twins, their .500 mark is meaningful and provides optimism this season.
Trevor Larnach hit a two-run homer and Joe Ryan tossed six innings of one-run ball as the Minnesota Twins held on for its seventh straight win, 2-1 over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday in Minneapolis.

Because the Twins won seven in a row, on national TV, you know?
Folks, the Twins are back to .500.
A week that’s reminded the fanbase why there’s reason to believe in this core of players was capped on Saturday night by the kind of complete performance that felt like wishful thinking just a few days ago. Minnesota took home a gritty, 2-1 nailbiter win over the San Francisco Giants, with elite pitching paving the way.
First, the credit to Joe Ryan. Still visibly...

Apparently, April showers bring May flowers.
After I wrote exactly ONE optimistic preview so far this year (before the second game of the season), the Twins made life difficult by digging an immediate hole for themselves and playing like hot ass in a can all week leading up to the Saturday games.
But this time, the story is a little...

The deceptive lefty has been one of the Twins’ best relief arms thanks to a well-crafted arsenal that fits together beautifully.
Before the Twins’ current six-game winning streak, the bulk of the blame for their slow start was rightfully directed towards an offense that routinely forced the pitching staff into situations with little margin for error. That’s been...

The Twins’ oft-maligned starter turns in a terrific performance.
Chris Paddack, whom I’ve made fun of (along with everyone else), shows why the Twins wanted him in the first place; he was mixing speeds and locations very effectively tonight. And the offense had enough to live with. Inning-by-inning notes:
1: Mike Yastrzemski is the grandson of Carl. Willy Adames hits one within Steve Bartman reach of being a...
Chris Paddack took a perfect game into the sixth inning, Byron Buxton had a hand in two of Minnesota's three runs and the Twins won a sixth straight game Friday night, beating the visiting San Francisco Giants 3-1 in the opener of a three-game interleague series.

The Giants come to Minnesota... and almost came to Minnesota in the 1950’s too!

One pitch is all it takes!
After their horrendous start to the 2015 season, the Minnesota Twins had stabilized a bit following Trevor Plouffe’s panache. But heading into a May 6 contest with the Oakland (RIP) Athletics, the squad was just 14-13. Things could still go either way on the ‘15 season.
But then Eddie Rosario dug in and changed all of that with his first major league hack.
A native of Guayama, Puerto Rico, Rosario came to...
The Minnesota Twins sweep the Baltimore Orioles in three games at Target Field
From fishing celebrations to buck bombs to spartan helmets, this Minnesota Twins team is on fire, and it is fun to watch.
While the competition hasn’t been overly stiff, wins are wins and the Twins have won five in a row and 10 of their last 11 games at Target Field. It’s all at a perfect time when the Minnesota Timberwolves are working to beat the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals.
Despite...
Brooks Lee hit a two-run double with two outs in the eighth inning to send the Minnesota Twins to a 5-2 victory against the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday afternoon in Minneapolis.
