But the Twins answered with a pair of second inning homers of their own, as Kepler and Dozier each hit t...5945Sun, 06 Aug 2017 23:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tex-4-min-1-twins-struggle-to-score-without-sano-mauer-r5943/Win Expectancy (via Fangraphs) Hamels had his way with the Twins, carving up an “interesting” lineup. The veteran lefty pitched a complete game, with the only run he surrendered being unearned. Joe Mauer was getting an off day against a tough lefty and Miguel Sano was forced to sit after being h...5943Sun, 06 Aug 2017 03:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-8-tex-4-colon-pitches-a-complete-game-yes-really-r5941/Win Expectancy (via Fangraphs) How great is baseball? We have giants like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. We have little guys like Jose Altuve and Mookie Betts. And we have extraterrestrial pitchers like Bartolo Colon. Colon’s previous current season high in innings was 7.0, and the longest...5941Sat, 05 Aug 2017 04:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/daily-twins-daily-august-4-2017-r5939/First: Tom Froemming has the game breakdown. Heading into this game, on paper, the Twins seemed like favorites. For starters, on fastballs under 90 MPH, they had the second highest average at .430 (only the Nationals did better versus weak sauce). So it stands to reason that Texas starter, AJ Gri...5939Fri, 04 Aug 2017 06:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tex-4-min-1-twins-muster-just-3-hits-in-loss-r5936/Win Expectancy (via Fangraphs) Brian Dozier and Max Kepler, the top two batters in tonight’s order, have both really been struggling of late. Dozier was 0 for 4 tonight, and is now 5 for 37 (.135) since the start of that West Coast road trip with 13 strikeouts and no walks. Kepler, 0 for 3 tonig...5936Fri, 04 Aug 2017 03:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-funk-and-the-fix-for-jorge-polanco-r5935/Signed as an international free agent, Polanco has been with the Twins organization through the entirety of his pro career.

Mankato – This city of 41,000 was born at the confluence of the Minnesota and Blue Earth Rivers in the 1850’s.

Santana gave up two runs on four hits and a walk. He lived in the strike zone all game, throwing 82 of his 110 pitches on the day for strikes. But that wasn’t all. Santana also did something that has been seemingly impossible for the regular lin...5930Thu, 03 Aug 2017 00:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/daily-twins-daily-august-2-2017-r5928/First: Can’t win games if you don’t score. A wise, old person said that once. Sure, there were positives. For instance, Jose Berrios took a no-hit bid into the sixth inning. And it was fast -- game over in 2 hours and 33 minutes. Ok. That’s about it. That’s the positive. If you didn’t stay up late...5928Wed, 02 Aug 2017 13:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/sdp-3-min-0-don%E2%80%99t-need-a-closer-if-you-can%E2%80%99t-score-r5927/Win Expectancy (via Fangraphs) This was an encouraging night for Berrios and Buxton, which in the big picture is really what’s important for the remainder of this season.
