Down 2-0 heading into the bottom of the third inning, FanGraphs data showed that the Twins had a 33% chance to win the game. It&#x2019;s funny how quickly things can change. When Jason Castro flew out to end a six-run inning, the Twins...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">5816</guid><pubDate>Fri, 07 Jul 2017 03:48:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Game Thread: Twins v Orioles, 7/6 @ 7:10pm CT</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-v-orioles-76-710pm-ct-r5814/</link><description>1.

Santana was brilliant, but the most pivotal throw of the game came from Castro. With runners at the corners and two outs in the sixth inning, Calhoun took off for second base.

Mauer and Kepler have been a bit under the radar on a game-by-game basis, but they both had big performances Monday night. Mauer, who hit leadoff with Brian Dozier sitting out, hit a big two-run homer early.
