It was a bad month for the team, who went 11-17 as they tried (and failed) to patch the holes punched in the roster by the trade deadline fire sale the front office executed to close out July. For many fans, though, it was&#xA0;less&#xA0;f...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">19079</guid><pubDate>Mon, 01 Sep 2025 11:31:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Week in Review: Searching for Silver Linings</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-searching-for-silver-linings-r19077/</link><description>The Weekly Nutshell:

	This was not a winning week for the Twins. They've had only one of those since the All-Star break, all the way back at the start of August. But it wasn't a losing week, and we'll take that. Minnesota went 3-3 and finished on a high note, sealing a series victory over a qua...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">19077</guid><pubDate>Mon, 01 Sep 2025 00:08:44 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 7, Padres 2: Ryan Dominant, Buxton Hits His 29th Homer To Seal Series Win</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-7-padres-2-ryan-dominant-buxton-hits-his-29th-homer-to-seal-series-win-r19076/</link><description>Box Score:

That said.
