He struck out just 18.1% of batters, walked them at an 8.1% clip, and gave up 23 home runs in 82 innings, a total high enough to make Bert Blyleven blush. Unsurprisingly, his ERA/FIP/xFIP slash line looked more l...12313Sat, 14 May 2022 12:50:12 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gilberto-celestino-demonstrating-big-league-value-r12306/  In June 2021, Minnesota’s outfield was in shambles, and the team needed another outfielder on the roster. Gilberto Celestino was on the 40-man roster, but he was 22-years-old and had yet to appear in a game above the Double-A level. All minor leaguers were coming off a non-existent 2020 s...12306Sat, 14 May 2022 11:20:06 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-12-guardians-8-bats-put-together-a-nine-run-inning-snap-losing-streak-r12314/Box Score Starting Pitcher: Sonny Gray, 4.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 8 K (82 pitches, 46 strikes, 56.1%) Home Runs: Byron Buxton (10), Jorge Polanco (4), Gary Sánchez (2), Royce Lewis (1) Top 3 WPA: Gary Sánchez (.178), Royce Lewis (.155), Byron Buxton (.123) Win Probability Chart (via...12314Sat, 14 May 2022 03:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/emilio-pag%C3%A1n-has-one-enormous-problem-r12303/If you’ve watched every outing of Emilio Pagán’s this season, you’re probably in a constant state of indigestion at this point.

Jorge Polanco: 30 HR Polanco has become one of Minnesota's most valuable contributors, and he is one of 22 second basemen to hit more than 30 home runs in a season.
