However, the Twins jumped right back on the gas pedal last night again, putting up 14 runs on 10 extra-base hits against the Chicago White...8290Wed, 21 Aug 2019 12:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/6-reasons-why-the-twins-will-win-the-al-central-r8289/We’ve got less than six full weeks left in the 2019 Major League Baseball regular season. The Minnesota Twins are looking for their first AL Central Division title since 2010, and despite having an 11.5 game lead midway through the year, they’re facing an intense race to the finish.

With the Cleveland Indians off for a day before starting a three-game series in New York against the Mets, the Twins had an opportunity to expand their division lead ano...8288Tue, 20 Aug 2019 04:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/nelson-cruz-and-the-unlikely-quest-for-400-home-runs-r8286/Nelson Cruz was back in the Twins line-up on Monday, but he was never supposed to be to this point in his career. To call Cruz a late bloomer would be an understatement. He never made it on to any major prospect top-100 list and he didn’t debut until he was 24-years old. His first career home run...8286Tue, 20 Aug 2019 02:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/leading-off-podcast-with-cooper-and-matt-the-twins-stand-alone-again-r8284/Hey everyone, we’re back with another podcast fresh off a four-game sweep over Texas!

From his delayed start in May through the end of June, the Minnesota Twins’ third baseman led baseball with a grotesque 42 percent strikeout rate. He had been strikeout prone but now in nearly half of his trips to t...8282Mon, 19 Aug 2019 05:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/week-in-review-back-on-top-r8280/Ever so briefly, the Cleveland Indians overtook the American League Central. Following their triumphant series at Target Field, which moved them into a first-place tie, the Indians defeated the Red Sox on Monday to pull ahead of Minnesota in the standings. By week's end, the hot-hitting Twins had...8280Sun, 18 Aug 2019 23:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-game-recap-818-polanco-leads-twins-over-lynn-in-texas-r8279/The Twins stayed as hot as the scorching weather today as they completed the sweep over the Texas Rangers. Martin Perez made his second straight good start and a huge triple from Jorge Polanco led the Twins to the 6-3 win.

After being thrust into a bigger role than expected in 2018, thanks to Jason Castro going down with a season-ending knee injury, Garver has settled back...8277Sun, 18 Aug 2019 15:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-game-recap-817-twins-win-slugfest-in-texas-r8275/After the Minnesota Twins took the first two games of the series, on Thursday and Friday night, they were looking to clinch the series win on Saturday, against the Texas Rangers.

That’s indisputable. The Twins are still on pace to win the most games since 1970 and maybe win the division for the first time in nine years.
