As you look up and down the roster, outside of rookie cups of coffee and spare bullpen parts, nearly every player has contributed in some type of positive way. Let's r...6094Mon, 18 Sep 2017 03:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-13-tor-7-mauer-grand-slam-among-4-twins-homers-in-comeback-victory-r6093/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) Gibson entered this game on quite the roll, having pitched to a 1.38 ERA over his previous five starts.
