The Minnesota Twins were swept by the lowly Royals this weekend and have now lost five-straight games. This comes after they started the second half hot, going 9-2 out of the break. Down in the minors, Yunior Severino continued his tear Saturday, blasting a pair of homers. That gave him six home runs in a five-game stretch and 24 total on the season. Also featured are a couple of pitching debuts: Jaylen Nowlin's Double-A debut with Wichita and Andrew Morris' High-A debut for Cedar Rapids.

Why is it so hard to escape Wichita? Does the club have an agreement with the new affiliate that they'll make the good players linger there longer than the other stops?

Severino, Lee, Keirsey and Isola should be in St. Paul prepping to help the big club.
