Sano went first and hit 11 home runs. "Moose" followed. He hit his tenth home run with just under a minute to go, but was unable to hit another.
In the second round, Sano topped fellow 2009 international s...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">5831</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jul 2017 02:06:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Three Unique All-Star Journeys</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/three-unique-all-star-journeys-r5830/</link><description>The Experienced Veteran: Ervin Santana
Ervin Santana has been here before but it was nearly a decade ago. As a 34-year old, Santana is in the midst of his best professional season.

Where Things Stand
Last season's mess was a painful slog for all involved. The Twins entered the break with a 32-56 record, already long erased from any kind of relevance. Setbacks...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">5826</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Jul 2017 01:08:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Orioles 11, Twins 5: Granite&#x2019;s Great Catch Highlights Final Game of First Half</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/orioles-11-twins-5-granite%E2%80%99s-great-catch-highlights-final-game-of-first-half-r5825/</link><description><![CDATA[Win Expectancy &amp; Top 5 Plays Per WPA (via Fangraphs)


Gibson gave up seven runs over just four innings. The Orioles got nine hits off him, drew two walks and struck out only once.

The Twins were 15-5 in games in which Sano homers coming into today and Baltimore starter Wade Miley had really been scuffling, posting a 11.69 ERA in his previous six starts. It felt like only a matter of time before the offense broke th...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">5823</guid><pubDate>Sat, 08 Jul 2017 22:16:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>DAAYYAAM.

Trailing by six runs with just a few days to go until the All-Star break, you could understand if maybe the Twins were going to ease up the rest of the night. Instead, they put together maybe their finest inning of the entire season.
