Grand Forks – A city of around 53,000 people... Grand Forks, North Dakota is a suburb of East Grand Forks, Minnesota. The city got its name by popular vote. A list of three possible city names was created after much deliberation, with the majority of voters favoring Grand Forks. The other choic...5726Fri, 16 Jun 2017 11:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-6-mariners-2-berrios-cruises-gimenez-bruises-r5724/Twins 6, Mariners 2 Box Score Win Expectancy (via Fangraphs) This one was a bit uneventful after the first inning, not that we’re going to complain. Thanks in large part to Gimenez’s three-run homer, the Twins jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first frame. Berrios settled in and ended up throwing...5724Thu, 15 Jun 2017 22:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-216-draft-draft-draft33-r5723/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_316_Draft_DRAFT_DRAFT.mp35723Thu, 15 Jun 2017 04:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mariners-6-twins-4-buxton%E2%80%99s-big-night-r5722/Mariners 6, Twins 4 Box Score Win Expectancy (via Fangraphs) Santana continued to follow a bit of a disturbing trend, following up a spectacular start with a clunker.

In 14 starts, he allowed 12 home runs and posted an 8.02 ERA. Things have turned around this season as he has an impressive 2.84 ERA while having a higher strikeout rate and walking fewer batters. Something...5719Thu, 15 Jun 2017 02:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/official-day-3-draft-thread-r5718/The Twins don't have a lot of wiggle room in their draft pool, so this will be a day where they look to fill organizational needs. To me, that means lots of (probably left-handed) pitchers, catchers and versatile hitters.
