Latest news and updates about the Twins
As the game thread intro indicated today, the Minnesota Twins historically do not fare well against the previous year’s American League champions. Fortunately, they were able to flip the script this afternoon against veteran starter Max Scherzer and take the rubber match in Toronto against the Blue Jays. Twins SP Taj Bradley was extremely shaky […]

Game three of three with the Twins. Yesterday, I mentioned driving to Minneapolis , that we were slowed at the border. Because of sitting at the border for two hours and kind of being mentally tired after the grillign, we didn’t get as far afterwards as we hoped. We ended up stopping at Minot, North […]
The Detroit Tigers came into the weekend riding a five-game losing streak, including a four-game sweep at the Minnesota Twins. On Sunday, with their ace on the mound, the team has a chance to complete their reversal of fortune by sweeping the Miami Marlins at home. AJ Hinch’s squad took the first two games of […]
The Twins bounced back in decisive fashion on Saturday afternoon, riding a wonderful start from Joe Ryan and an early crooked number to best the Toronto Blue Jays by a 7-4 final, and even the series at a game apiece. Early momentum was not in Minnesota’s favor; after allowing 10 unanswered runs in the series […]
Game two of three with the Twins. I’ve been to games in Minnesota, I really liked the town. The ‘big mall’ on the other hand was ugly. And I found out that, if you are in Fargo, doing the accent they use in the movie Fargo doesn’t go over big. But the downtown area is […]
First Pitch: 2:07 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy Not only did the Twins blow a 4-0 lead last night in what looked like a morale-boosting, streak-extending win against a top-tier opponent, but they also officially lost two players, as Royce Lewis and Cody Laweryson hit the IL. It’s the […]
Well, things were looking good for Twins starter Simeon Woods-Richardson until a Roman servant whispered in his ear “all glory is fleeting,” and the Bad Mojo spread through the bullpen like bedbugs in a bad motel. Ouch! Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Austin Martin singles and scores; Luke Keaschall beats out a single of his own. Bringing […]
Been a while since we had a fun one, but the vibes may have turned. Patrick Corbin does not look like the answer to their rotation problems, but just about everyone else did their job. The offence was undaunted by a four run hole, racking up nine extra base hits (14 total) against just four […]
Game one of three with the Twins in Toronto. It is a City Connects game, so we’ll get to see the CC jerseys (like it or not). I’m still in Japan. If all goes as planned, we should be in Kobe. I’m hoping to get a dinner of Kobe beef at some point this trip, […]

This is of course no surprise after the ugly collision between Riley Greene and center fielder Parker Meadows in Thursday’s loss to the Minnesota Twins. Meadows and Greene appeared to clip heads as the latter settled under a Josh Bell fly ball at Target Field in the 8th inning. Greene was able to protect himself […]
It was a quiet day around baseball and particularly in the Yankees’ dugout, the Bombers getting one-hit to lose the rubber match against the Athletics, 1-0, with hardly a whimper of protest. There were only five other games around the league on this sleepy Thursday, and only one we’ll cover today for Rivalry Roundup, the […]
Quoting from the Book of Ben, chapter & verse: “For seemingly the 10th season in a row, the Twins simply can’t manage to string together any offense against left-handed starting pitchers” Is this actually true? Well, let’s take a look (I’m including all lefties here—SP & RP alike). In 2016-2018, the Twins were about league […]
After winning their first two games and the opening series of the season, things have not gone great for the Detroit Tigers. Since then, AJ Hinch’s team has lost nine of the last 11, including a four-game sweep on the road against the Minnesota Twins this week to make it five straight defeats. They did […]
Looking to salvage one game of their best of four in Minnesota, the Tigers got a good start from Jack Flaherty and they wasted it. In the process, an outfield collision late in the game sent Parker Meadows to the hospital, though early signs are that he’ll be okay though likely to miss some time, […]
They say baseball is a marathon and no team has embodied that more in the first two weeks of the 2026 season than your Minnesota Twins. After a rough start, an April winning streak once again has the Twins right back in the mix for the third season in a row, sweeping the division-favorite Detroit […]

The Detroit Tigers have struggled this week on the road against the Minnesota Twins, losing three in a row and four straight overall after an 8-6 defeat on Wednesday night.

Another chilly day for a game in Minnesota (honestly, scheduling games before May in the midwest is really a fool’s errand, but that’s baseball for you). The Tigers, currently on a three-game losing streak, were looking to break up the bad luck with Framber Valdez on the mound. They’d be facing off against Bailey Ober […]

The losing continues for the Detroit Tigers, who dropped their third straight on Tuesday night to the Minnesota Twins, 4-2. To make matters worse, it was the second-straight Tarik Skubal start wasted in defeat. The ace southpaw struggled in his third game of the 2026 campaign, lasting just 4 1/3 innings while giving up four […]
