Woah, Berrios gave up five runs in 4.2 innings today? Terrible start, huh? Not exactly.
Through the first three innings, it was actually looking like Berrios was on his way to another tremendous outing. With one out in the fourth, Jean Segura singled on what was ba...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6601</guid><pubDate>Sat, 07 Apr 2018 21:58:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Dozier, Mauer Approaching Milestones</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/dozier-mauer-approaching-milestones-r6600/</link><description>Mr. 2000
Mauer entered play on Saturday needing eight hits to reach the 2,000 hit mark for his career. He&#x2019;s hit safely in 17 straight contests against Seattle so there is a good chance that number will shrink before the weekend is done.

James Paxton figured to be a tough draw for the Twins today. He was among the best pitchers in baseball last season, though his season went somewhat underappreciated because he missed some time. Here are the 2017 leaders in FIP, minimum 130 innings pitched:

Minnesota Twins
Through their first five games of the season, the Twins have already hit nine home runs (including four by Brian Dozier). However, not one of these home runs has come with runners on base.

With the Twins trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth, Rosario made a great throw to gun down Gregory Polanco at the plate. It was a huge momentum-shifting play in this game.

Looking out the window as I write this, there is still no end to the snowfall in sight. I assume at some point it will peter out, but our new winter coating isn't likely to disappear quickly.
