We're beginning a stretch of 90 degree weather and high humidity. Over the past couple weeks, the Rock Cats played great baseball, winning a franchise record 11 in a row. As you would expect, pretty much everything was clicking -- timel...2823Tue, 01 Jul 2014 11:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-630-max-effort-r2807/Monday was a pretty busy day for it being just a regular Monday in late June. The Twins left Texas on Sunday knowing that both 3B Trevor Plouffe and SS Eduardo Nunez were ready to be activated from the DL, yet no move was made after last night's game. And, from the sounds of it, all 25 guys in Texas...2807Tue, 01 Jul 2014 04:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-629-strong-starting-pitching-and-burdis-debut-r2802/The Minnesota Twins were able to end their 10-game road losing streak against the Texas Rangers on Sunday afternoon, behind a solid bounce-back effort from starter Kyle Gibson and clutch hitting from Kendrys Morales and unexpected spark plug Jorge Polanco.

That was certainly the case Saturday in Minneapolis as the Twin Cities was drenched in yet another big rain storm. But it was also true down in Arlington where the Twins lost yet another road game to run their road losing streak to nine games.

He went 2-3 with two home runs and seven RBI. The Cedar Rapids Kernels won a 9-5, rain-s...2797Sun, 29 Jun 2014 07:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/kernels-nuggets-thorpe-notches-first-mwl-win-r2796/It took a little longer than usual to get to Cedar Rapids, but it was worth the travel because we were treated to a terrific game on Friday night. We saw the best start at this level from one of the Twins top pitching prospects and we saw some offense, followed by a tight game at the end. The drive...2796Sat, 28 Jun 2014 06:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-627-walk-offs-and-bid-for-perfection-r2795/The Twins were lifeless for the entire game against Rangers starter Nick Tepesch, before Twins Daily’s #8 prospect Jorge Polanco made a big splash in the ninth inning with a two-RBI triple off closer Joakim Soria to make the score 5-4. Unfortunately, a Brian Dozier strikeout and Kurt Suzuki groundo...2795Sat, 28 Jun 2014 05:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-626-nick-gordon-continues-to-hit-r2794/The Twins extended their road losing streak to seven games and were swept out of Anaheim after another ineffective Ricky Nolasco start.
