Entering Sunday's series finale, the Twins and Indians had both scored 310 runs, with nearly identical team OPS marks (.754 and .759).
Only one offense really showed up over the past four games, however. The Indians piled up 28 runs in the s...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">5735</guid><pubDate>Mon, 19 Jun 2017 01:16:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gleeman & The Geek, Ep 217: Swept Away]]></title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-217-swept-away-r5734/</link><description>http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/GATG_06_18_17_Final.mp3?dest-id=74590</description><guid isPermaLink="false">5734</guid><pubDate>Sun, 18 Jun 2017 23:53:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Cleveland 5, Twins 2: Encarnaci-Owned</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/cleveland-5-twins-2-encarnaci-owned-r5733/</link><description>Cleveland 5, Twins 2

You can&#x2019;t help but wonder if this game may have ended differently if the Twins just pitched around Edwin Encarnacion.

Nik Turley got rocked, giving up eight runs over 4.2 innings. Cleveland tallied nine hits and drew four walks off the lefty. The big blow was a mammoth three-run homer off the bat of Edwin Encarnacion.

This one was a bit uneventful after the first inning, not that we&#x2019;re going to complain. Thanks in large part to Gimenez&#x2019;s three-run homer, the Twins jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first frame. Berrios settled in and ended up throwing...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">5724</guid><pubDate>Thu, 15 Jun 2017 22:56:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gleeman & The Geek, Ep 216: Draft, DRAFT, DRAFT!]]></title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-216-draft-draft-draft33-r5723/</link><description>http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_316_Draft_DRAFT_DRAFT.mp3</description><guid isPermaLink="false">5723</guid><pubDate>Thu, 15 Jun 2017 04:40:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Mariners 6, Twins 4: Buxton&#x2019;s Big Night</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mariners-6-twins-4-buxton%E2%80%99s-big-night-r5722/</link><description>Mariners 6, Twins 4

Santana continued to follow a bit of a disturbing trend, following up a spectacular start with a clunker. He gave up five runs on nine hits over five innings.
