Jake Odorizzi gave up a home run to the third batter he faced, but it was all Twins from there. The Twins tallied seven unan...6728Tue, 08 May 2018 20:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-k-brigade-twins-pitchers-on-a-strikeout-binge-r6726/Up is down. Black is white. And Twins pitchers are striking everyone out. We've come a long way since the days of 'pitch to contact.' A perfect storm of circumstances has led to a stunning transformation for a Minnesota staff that throughout recent history has reliably – VERY reliably – been among...6726Tue, 08 May 2018 15:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-6-stl-0-fernand0-r0mer033333333-r6724/Fernando Romero couldn’t possibly improve upon his impressive major league debut, right? Wrong. Romero shut out the Cardinals over six innings, striking out nine batters in the process. He gave up just three hits and walked three. That’s now 11 2/3 shutout innings to open his career.

In his sixth professional season, Gibson might finally be putting it all together. So what has changed? Has Gibson started pitching differently?

The Twins probably won’t bother unpacking their bags since they wrap up the series tomorrow at 12Noon. That’ll be two games played in less than 24 hours. They might even sleep in the clubhouse.

But the Twins finished with three straight wins and finally seem to be back on track. Oh, and after all that turmoil, they're still only two g...6720Mon, 07 May 2018 03:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-5-chw-3-rosario-lifts-twins-to-third-straight-victory-r6718/Things can change quickly in a baseball game. James Shields carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning, by the end if that frame the Twins had the lead. Kyle Gibson turned in a quality start, Eddie Rosario had another big game and Fernando Rodney picked up another save.

Not just a victory, but a blowout so the top bullpen arms could all have a night off. Lance Lynn needed this too. He’d been about as bad as anyone could have imagined in his first five starts as a Twin. And it was all thanks in large part to Eddie Rosario.

In a Twitter discussion, the point was made that the Twins are 10th in the AL in runs scored per game. Prior to Wednesday’s game against Toronto, the Twins had been struggling significantly with what was supposed to be an explosive offense.
