Labor Day also kicks off the very best stretch of any season in which to be at a ballpark. Alas, this year, that only makes it an even more bittersweet milestone than usual. Baseball bills itself as the summer game. It wants to live in your mind as th...9836Wed, 09 Sep 2020 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/doubleheader-recap-twins-split-with-cardinals-dobnak-struggles-on-short-rest-r9837/The Bomba Squad flexed its muscles in the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader in St. Louis, scoring seven runs in seven innings on the way to a 7-3 victory.
