There, Paul Molitor decided to put the game into the hands of the struggling Buddy Boshers. The game wasn’t tied for muc...6072Sun, 10 Sep 2017 03:28:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-8-kc-5-rosario-drives-in-4-hildenberger-holds-it-together-r6070/For a moment it appeared the Twins bullpen might falter Friday night against the Royals, but Trevor Hildenberger, some nifty infield defense and key insurance hits from Robbie Grossman and Joe Mauer boosted the Twins to their third straight win. Both the Eds -- Eddie Rosario and Eduardo Escobar --...6070Sat, 09 Sep 2017 04:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-4-kc-2-comeback-complete-r6067/The Twins have been resilient all year, but they had been making a habit of coming *this* close to mounting comebacks lately. Well, they broke through Thursday night. Entering the ninth down a run, the Twins scored three in the final frame and Matt Belisle locked it down for the save. Snapshot (c...6067Fri, 08 Sep 2017 03:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/escobar-proving-invaluable-for-minnesota-r6065/On July 29, 2012, the Minnesota Twins made a move that would continue to pay dividends some five years down the line. Eduardo Escobar was snatched from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Francisco Liriano. Minnesota was a 90-loss team and the playoff hopeful White Sox needed a boost. While Esco...6065Fri, 08 Sep 2017 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twinsroyals-97715pm-r6064/The Twins arrive in Kansas City for a 4-game series starting tonight. After winning only one game out of three in Tampa, it sure looks like the Twins are leaving Florida just in time. An obvious statement for anyone watching the news. It’s been a rough year for hurricanes. The truth is we won’t ge...6064Thu, 07 Sep 2017 11:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/brian-dozier-is-taking-the-lead-r6063/He leads off in the lineup. He leads the club in home runs. And most importantly, Brian Dozier is leading by example. "Leadership" has always been an ambiguous term in pro sports. It's one of those intangible, immeasurable factors that is impossible to quantify. But no one can deny its import, es...6063Thu, 07 Sep 2017 04:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-10-tb-6-twins-prevail-thanks-to-big-error-r6061/The Twins had to take the lead on four separate occasions, as Tampa Bay just kept battling back, but outlasted the Rays Wednesday afternoon. A costly error in the top of the seventh finally served as the dagger, as the Twins tallied three runs that inning.

He was hitting .324/.404/.476 with 46 extra-base hits. The Twins had signed him to an eight-year, $184 million deal following his 2009 MVP and it was looking like he was going to be worth every penny.

This was the third game out of their last four the Twins have lost.

From the trade deadline at the end of July, when the team traded All-Star closer Brandon Kintzler to the Nationals, the Twins bullpen has been very good. It’s been interesting to se...6056Tue, 05 Sep 2017 22:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/tb-11-min-4-bullpen-lets-game-get-out-of-hand-r6055/You win some, you lose some and sometimes you get your butt kicked. Monday night’s game would fall into the third category, though the score was 2-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning. Not a good look tonight, but regardless, the Twins still hold the second American League Wild Card spot....6055Tue, 05 Sep 2017 03:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/where-to-find-great-twins-content-r6053/'Here are the people you should and shouldn’t listen to when it comes to the Twins.' With that, Jim Souhan laid out his rigid directive in a scattered rant about the pitfalls of independent blogging and new media.
