All the good vibes from last week have disappeared as the Twins are now on a four-game skid, mostly thanks to an ineffective bullpen and bad defensive play.

For eight innings on Sunday, the Cincinnati Reds looked mostly miserable in the cold confines of Target Field. Minnesota Twins starter Bailey Ober had their number (6.0 IP, 3 H, ER, 4 BB, 10 K) each and every time a Red actually reached a base, with the Reds – at one point – sitting 0 […]

This game was over before the halfway poin...
