In the Twins 4-3 win over the Rangers, Sam Dyson was ruled the winning pitcher, despite taking the mound after the Twins took the lead. There are reasons to do that in baseball, but none seem to apply...8273Sat, 17 Aug 2019 14:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/in-appreciation-of-ehire-adrianza-r8269/When the Minnesota Twins claimed Ehire Adrianza off waivers prior to the start of the 2017 season, Twins fans could be excused for not being overly excited. The team was coming off a 59-win season and Adrianza was a light-hitting, glove-first shortstop who hit just .220/.292/.313 in parts of four...8269Sat, 17 Aug 2019 04:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-game-recap-816-twins-prevail-behind-clutch-schoop-hr-great-bullpen-performance-r8271/It wasn’t an easy one, but the Twins managed to defeat All-Star lefty Mike Minor and the Rangers in the second game of the series in Arlington, 4-3. Jonathan Schoop hit a clutch game-winning two-run dinger and the bullpen combined to throw 3 1/3 innings of shutout ball. Box Score Odorizzi: 5.2 IP...8271Sat, 17 Aug 2019 03:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/quotunwritten-rulequot-gets-max-kepler-hit-by-a-pitch-r8268/If you didn’t stay up last night to watch the ninth inning of the Twins blowout 13-6 win over the Texas Rangers (hey, we’re not judging), you missed a little in-game drama. Jake Cave hit a 3-0 pitch for a single, violating an unwritten rule in a blowout win, and teammate Max Kepler paid the price....8268Fri, 16 Aug 2019 18:37:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/is-it-time-to-platoon-cj-cron-r8267/It is probably time for the Twins to consider benching C.J. Cron. Cron has been a far cry from the good player he was in the first half of the year. Since the calendar flipped over to July, Cron has hit just .209/.284/.358 and he hasn’t looked good defensively at first base. On the year he has rea...8267Fri, 16 Aug 2019 14:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-game-recap-815-pineda-solid-while-offense-provides-plenty-r8264/The Twins offense was due. It had been over a week since the Twins put up double -digit runs, and with Pedro Payano on the mound for the Rangers, tonight's result was somewhat predictable. Michael Pineda provided five solid innings and despite a rough outing from Devin Smeltzer out of the bullpen...8264Fri, 16 Aug 2019 03:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/defensive-dive-highlights-twins-fall-r8261/In 2019 you can define the Minnesota Twins efforts as a tale of two seasons. While this club was coming off 84 losses a year ago the turnaround was expected to begin. Despite this writer pegging them for 92 wins and a division title, that seemed lofty prior to “Play Ball.” Fast forward through May...8261Fri, 16 Aug 2019 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/series-preview-on-the-road-again-r8260/It's been an interesting week since I last wrote one of these, as the Twins lost the division lead, got it back, and then shot themselves in the foot in trying to extend their lead. And that was just in the last three days! The good news is that the Twins will not have to play a team that is curre...8260Thu, 15 Aug 2019 13:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/constructing-a-lineup-for-the-home-stretch-r8258/Since mid-June the Minnesota Twins have been dealing with non-stop injuries to various players in their lineup. Luckily, until the current Byron Buxton injury, none of the injuries held any of the players out for an extended period. That said, the injuries have been so constant that the Twins have...8258Thu, 15 Aug 2019 02:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/michael-pineda-will-play-a-huge-role-during-this-division-race-r8256/Earlier this month, the Twins had a few key players land on the IL, the most notable being Byron Buxton. Losing him definitely hurts more than anyone else on the team. But a key member of the rotation also went down around the same time but has since returned. How good has that pitcher been recent...8256Wed, 14 Aug 2019 23:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-game-recap-814-twins-can%E2%80%99t-sweep-polanco-commits-costly-error-r8257/The Twins looked like they were going to pick up a sweep against the Brewers, but got a taste of their own medicine from last night. Trent Grisham hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth to give the Brewers their first lead of the game. The Twins offense got going early, but fell silent in th...8257Wed, 14 Aug 2019 22:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/luis-arraez-entering-the-al-rookie-of-the-year-race-r8253/Luis Arraez has fought his way into an everyday role on one of the best offenses in baseball history. This is no small feat, especially for a 22-year old rookie. Since he wasn’t a highly-ranked prospect, Arraez has surprised many fans with his professional approach at the plate. Could he surprise...8253Wed, 14 Aug 2019 05:00:00 +0000
