Francisco Liriano got through six innings and gave up just two runs. Jesse Crain relieved him for a scoreless inning. And, AJ Pierzynski hit the big two-run homer in the top of the ninth off of Jeff Gray, and that was it. Th...706Wed, 01 Aug 2012 07:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/a-look-inside-a-minor-leaguers-travel-bag-r704/Being a minor league baseball player has taught me to be an expert packer. I travel with a baseball bag and a backpack, what goes into my backpack has to serve a purpose because everything takes up space and there isn’t very much of it. Game Glove My glove gets treated well. I often use the phrase,...704Tue, 31 Jul 2012 19:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/monday-night-in-the-minors-r700/The Twins got a very nice 7-6 win over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night. But the offense and defense of Denard Span and some great ninth inning work from the bottom of the order gave the Twins a walk-off win. Danny Valencia led off the ninth with a line drive single. Alexi Casilla pinch ran for...700Tue, 31 Jul 2012 04:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/sundays-minor-league-round-up-r696/The Twins finished their sweep against the Indians this afternoon (in dominant fashion too, outscoring the Indians 28-6), but that’s not nearly the biggest news to transpire since Saturday evening’s convincing win. At exactly 10pm last night – exactly the time I decided to go to bed a little early –...696Mon, 30 Jul 2012 04:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/saturdays-twins-minor-league-daily-r692/The Twins are currently throttling the Indians. It's nice to see. Josh Willingham continues to demonstrate that he was an excellent off-season signing, and Alexi Casilla even got in on the action. Let's take a look at the action down on the farm.

Scott Diamond had his best pitching performance in his big league career by throwing a complete game shutout with only three hits surrendered. He was remarkably efficient by throwing less than 100 pitches...690Sat, 28 Jul 2012 04:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/thursdays-minor-league-round-up-r685/The Twins were off today, but there was still plenty of action. Trevor Plouffe announced on Twitter this morning that he would be back tomorrow. And before their afternoon (or was it morning?) game, the Red Wings activated Deolis Guerra from the DL and placed Dan Sattler on the DL. Later this evenin...685Fri, 27 Jul 2012 03:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/wednesdays-twins-minor-league-daily-r680/The Twins were swept by the White Sox. I didn't watch the game, but apparently this was ugly -- even by 2012 Twins standards. Luckily, there are other things on which to focus our attention, especially the Twins' affiliates. Let's take a look at the action down on the farm.

The bullpen took over in the seventh inning and the White Sox decided to put on a slugfest for the rest of the game. During the explosion by the bullpe...678Wed, 25 Jul 2012 04:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/monday-night-in-the-minors-r673/In what may have been his final start with the Twins, starter Francisco Liriano threw his first clunker in over two months. The lefty gave up home runs to Paul Konerko, Adam Dunn and Alex Rios and could not complete three innings. The Twins got plenty of base runners. Denard Span had three hits, and...673Tue, 24 Jul 2012 03:09:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/sunday-links-n-thinks-r670/My usual edition of "Friday Links-N-Thinks" had to be pushed back because of some other commitments.

He got plenty of run support on this day. Ryan Doumit was 3-4 hit two home runs, one from each side of the plate. He drove in four runs.
