That's all Minnesota wanted to see from Alex Meyer before he was returned to Rochester. After making his first start at the big league level, the Twins decided that Meyer's performance wasn't good enough for a team floundering at 11 games under .500. If you are reading this article an...4676Wed, 04 May 2016 19:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/trevor-may-is-leading-an-evolving-bullpen-r4673/Prior to the season, I wrote that Trevor May's strikeout mentality was sorely needed in a bullpen that had fallen drastically behind the rest of the league in terms of missing bats. Sure enough, the right-hander has been a revelation in that regard, helping to lead a stunning trend reversal that s...4673Wed, 04 May 2016 01:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-minor-league-report-52-wheeler-deals-in-complete-game-loss-r4671/Top pitching prospect Jose Berrios made his second start for the Twins on Monday night and recorded a pretty significant milestone.

While the Minnesota Twins lost again on Sunday, May 1, I would certainly assume that they are ready to be done with April. An 0-9 start and an overall record of 7-17 is something that the Twins would like to move past. The Twins’ bullpen wasn’t good in April.
