The Yankees hit Chris Paddack around for five innings, cruising to victory.
Chris Paddack did not have his best stuff tonight, and it showed. Over the course of 5 innings he gave up 12 hits alongside 2 walks, resulting in 5 runs. Meanwhile, the only offense the Twins could muster was a lead-off solo homer by Ryan Jeffers. That’s his 10th home run of the season.
The Twins had the lead for a whole three at bats, as in the top of the 2nd the...

It’s a battle of two second place teams.
First Pitch: 6:40 PM CDT TV: Bally Sports North Radio: TIBN Know thine enemy: Pinstripe Alley Today's Lineups Anthony Volpe - SS Ryan Jeffers - DH Juan Soto - RF Carlos Correa - SS Aaron Judge - CF Willi Castro - CF Alex Verdugo - LF Jose Miranda - 3B Giancarlo Stanton - DH Manuel Margot - RF Anthony Rizzo - 1B Carlos Santana - 1B Gleyber Torres - 2B Kyle Farmer - 2B Austin Wells - C Christian...The Minnesota Twins will try to continue their hot streak on Tuesday, after a Monday off to rest their rally sausage. Unfortunately, Byron Buxton will not be in the lineup, as he continues to work his way back from his latest knee injury.
The Minnesota Twins started out as one of the most disappointing teams of the 2024 Major League Baseball season, but they have rebounded in rather miraculous fashion, to become one of the most exciting teams in the American League.
Chris Paddack is feeling healthy, and the Minnesota Twins are feeling happy. On Tuesday night, Paddack will go for his fifth victory in a row when he and the Twins open a three-game series against the New York Yankees in Minneapolis.
Over the past handful of years Major League Baseball has become more of an exercise in understanding than anything else. MLB managers, like the Minnesota Twins’ Rocco Baldelli, don’t constantly pour over the treasure troves of data available to them.

Hitting streaks? How about a homer streak?
The Past Week on Twinkie Town:
The Twins are now 24-16 and currently sit 0.5 games back of the first-place Guardians, who lead the division. This makes this weekend’s series in Cleveland a potential opportunity for the Twins to take first place in the division! As always, check out our Game Threads and Game Recaps!

Might they have an issue with how they position their defenders?
Team defense is a topic that I’ve touched on here several times over the past few years. While we’ve come a long way in measuring how well defenses turn balls in play into outs, sussing out which pieces of that puzzle are responsible for doing so remains a tricky proposition. Are the fielders themselves good? Are they benefitting from good pre-pitch positioning?...
How are the Twins prospect doing now? While many are focused on the Minnesota Twins game today and what the major-league club is doing, it’s always fun to monitor the Twins top prospects.

When the door opened a crack, the Twins broke it down
If you replace the word “kiss” with “error” in the chorus of the Dua Lipa & Calvin Harris club banger above, you’d have a pretty accurate description of today’s matinee Mother’s Day Minnesota Twins victory.
For the first six innings, one couldn’t help but wonder if a run would ever be scored. Bailey Ober was remarkably sharp against an awoken Toronto Blue Jays lineup, while Alek...

The Twins were once again able to get to Blue Jays’ ace Kevin Gausman early, but struggles from the pitching staff led to a blown six-run lead in one of their more disappointing losses of the season.
The game got off to a great start, with the Twins scoring four unanswered runs in the first two innings. They once again were seeing Gausman extremely well, laying off the low splitters that tend to get other teams into trouble. When it was all said and...

SWR is on revenge game watch.
First Pitch: 2:10 PM CentralThe Twins are back in action this afternoon against the Blue Jays with a chance to take their sixth straight series after eking out a victory last night. Toronto will send Kevin Gausman to the mound, and I would bet you remember the last time he faced the Twins.

Under Rocco Baldelli, the Minnesota Twins have become synonymous with the strikeout, and the vast majority of those years, it wasn’t the good kind. In 2024, though, it’s the Twins’ pitchers who are generating a ton of strikeouts, not the hitters, meaning they’re the good kind of strikeout team now.
Minnesota Twins right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson will be pitching to clinch the series Saturday afternoon against the host Toronto Blue Jays, the team that traded him nearly three years ago.

The Sausage clears customs, assaults Santana, and pulls out a victory!
Heading into tonight’s Canadian contest, there was some concern that the Minnesota Twins Rally Sausage (TM) might not make it through customs. But after the most closely tracked international flight since Shohei Ohtani instead absconded to Chavez Ravine, the packaged meat stick showed up safe and sound at the Rogers Centre visiting bat rack.
