Nick wrote last week that everyone has contributed to a successful season. Today I wanted to highlight one player who has been very helpful to the Twins cause down the stretch. On August 19th, Miguel Sano fouled a ball off of his shin, an...6108Sat, 23 Sep 2017 14:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-7-det-3-gibson-offense-keep-rolling-r6107/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) Gibson held the Tigers to three runs over 7.0 innings. He gave up five hits, two of which were homers, and walked a pair of batters while striking out six. He also induced three double-play balls. He’s been a bit of a chameleon of late, mixing up his pitch selectio...6107Sat, 23 Sep 2017 02:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-12-det-1-once-again-the-twins-bounce-back-r6106/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) This team takes care of business. There have been about a dozen times where it seemed appropriate to count this club out over the course of the season, and while they’ve had their struggles against some of the top teams in the league, they’ve done an excellent job...6106Fri, 22 Sep 2017 03:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-exhibit-as-a-flawed-but-fearsome-foe-r6105/With just a handful of games left in the 2017 Major League Baseball season, the playoff race yet to be decided has come down to the Twins and the Los Angeles Angels. Despite the slimmest of margins (1.5 games to be exact), Minnesota has a more favorable path to postseason baseball. With seven of t...6105Thu, 21 Sep 2017 13:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/where-are-we-now-152-down-10-to-go-r6104/Today, there are six teams within four games of the Twins and that second Wild Card spot. Baltimore is the one team that has fallen back. They are now 5.5 games back. Of course, being four games back with 20 games to play is very different than being four games back with ten games to play. Here is...6104Thu, 21 Sep 2017 11:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-tigers-921610pm-ct-r6103/1. 1966 – Mom baked me a cake and brought it to my high chair and then the power went out. She grabbed a candle and put it down to find something to light it. Then the power came back on and everyone started laughing because she put the candle down right in the middle of the cake by accident.

They competed (Joe Mauer had one of his most epic ABs ever on Wednesday afternoon), and have given us zero reason this year to doubt their resiliency or resolve. But from the very start of the series, which commenced w...6102Wed, 20 Sep 2017 23:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nyy-11-min-3-twins-crumble-at-yankee-stadium-again-r6101/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) Bartolo Colon struggled today and has been a mess of late. Over his last three starts, he's has given up 16 earned runs in 11 innings pitched. Today, Colon gave up six runs on seven hits, two of them home runs, over 3.1 innings pitched. What made matters worse was...6101Wed, 20 Sep 2017 22:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/searching-for-relief-r6100/(Incidentally, if you’re looking for a scenario in which the Twins blow this Wild Card lead – and Minnesotans are trained to do so - the easiest is that Trevor Hildenberger’s heavy usage results in him reverting to merely mortal. He’s never made more than 41 appearances in a season.

I doubt he’ll make excuses, but I’ll offer some up on his behalf. First off, the Yankees are always a tough team to pitch against. They’re so patient. Second, this was Jose’s first time pitching in Yankee Stadium.

I mean, it was really just a one-night stand, right? Anyway, the guy the Twins traded for and then traded away after just one start absolutely killed them tonight.
