The Twins really couldn&#x2019;t get much of anything going until the ninth. Take a look at that graph, they really stormed back and swiped this game away from the Angels. Brian Dozier hit a solo homer in first inning, Rosario added a solo tater in the sixth and that was...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6742</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 May 2018 05:50:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>LAA 7, MIN 4: What&#x2019;s Up With Berrios?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/laa-7-min-4-what%E2%80%99s-up-with-berrios-r6740/</link><description>Snapshot (chart via FanGraphs)

Berrios allowed the Angels to build a 4-0 lead and ended the night with five earned runs over 5 1/3 innings. Jose gave up seven hits, two of them homers, walked a batter, hit two more and only recorded two strikeouts.
Berrios averaged 93.4 mph on his fastball and t...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6740</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 May 2018 05:35:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Buxton&#x2019;s Back: Was No Rehab a Mistake?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/buxton%E2%80%99s-back-was-no-rehab-a-mistake-r6738/</link><description>Buxton struggled out of the gate this season. In his first 11 games, he went 8-for-41 (.195 BA) at the plate with two extra-base hits, both doubles.

Sure, he had already gotten his deb...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6724</guid><pubDate>Tue, 08 May 2018 03:21:00 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
