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.
