Latest news and updates about the Twins
The Mets led 3-0, Nolan McLean was perfect through five, and the Twins were throwing a spot-starter in Simeon Woods Richardson, who came into the game with a 6.10 ERA. The Mets also somehow lost, again, giving them an abhorrent 12th-straight loss. They are now 7-16. Yikes. The game was a game of two halves. […]
With the Twins trying to avoid extending their losing streak to 5, Simeon Woods Richardson was tasked with out-dueling the Mets Nolan McLean. The assignment proved to be difficult, as McLean would take a perfect game into the 6th inning. Meanwhile, old nemesis Francisco Lindor smashed a 3-run homer in the third off of SWR, […]

According to manager Carlos Mendoza, the Mets are calling up Christian Scott to start Thursday’s game with the Minnesota Twins. Kodai Senga will remain in the rotation for now, while David Peterson will be in the bullpen for at least this turn through the rotation. Due to that, it is likely that a reliever will […]
The Cincinnati Reds are rolling at 15-8 on the season so far, mixing in elite bullpen work with timely hitting and just enough starting pitching to make the dominos fall in the right direction so far. Fresh off a sweep of the Minnesota Twins on the road, the Reds rolled into Tampa and took the […]
The Mets (7-15) will carry an unfathomable 11- (ELEVEN!) game losing streak into their series against the Twins (11-11). When the Mets take the field at 7:10 PM EDT on Tuesday, they will have gone two weeks since experiencing their last victory, a game they won in walk-off fashion on a Ronny Mauricio hit in […]
The Cincinnati Reds have scored just 78 runs through their 22 games played this year, yet they’ve managed to win 14 of those and sit in 1st place in their division after their weekend sweep of the Minnesota Twins. The Tampa Bay Rays, meanwhile, have seen their runners score 103 times through just 21 games, […]
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. Despite three straight elite starts this weekend from Joe Ryan, Taj Bradley, and Bailey Ober, who only gave up three earned runs in 18.1 combined innings, the […]
And finally, Matthew Leach has the story of Twins reliever Kody Funderburk, whose wife Alicia is both pregnant and was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Through treatment, the doctors believe that both Alicia and baby will be fine.
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 […]

The Cincinnati Reds entered play on Saturday with just 66 runs scored so far this season, the lowest such mark of any team in the game. They also entered play with just 19 doubles (fewest), one triple (five teams have zero), and 86 singles (second fewest), an indicator that they haven’t just struggled to cross […]
The Twins frustrated in all the predictable ways today, with eleven runners left on base and a leaky bullpen squandering a quality start from Taj Bradley. With a 4-2 lead in the seventh, Minnesota’s pen gave up one run in each of the following innings to cough up the lead and hand the series over […]

Eugenio Suárez knew the Cincinnati Reds had just gone out and traded for Ke’Bryan Hayes last summer when he chose to sign with his old club again this winter. Geno surely knew of Hayes’ chops defensively as well as his contract – one that could run all the way through 2030 if the Reds so […]
Joe Ryan was good enough to win, but the Twins were 0-for-everything with RISP and you don’t win too many games that way. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Joe Ryan’s Express sends the Reds down on 11 pitches. Brandon Williamson does the same with 14. Von Ryan’s Express was a late-60s Frank Sinatra movie involving Toughness and […]

Brandon Williamson was born in Fairmont, Minnesota, which is roughly a two hour drive south of Target Field in Minneapolis. He went to Martin County West High School just down I-90 in Sherburn, and to date registers as the lone player from that program to ever crack the big leagues. He’ll be on the mound […]
Not sure if anyone has looked at the American League standings in the past 24 hours, but the following three teams are leading their divisions: Tampa Bay Rays (11-7): winners of six straight Minnesota Twins (11-8): winners of 8-of-10 Sacramento Athletics* (10-9): winners of 8-of-11, tied for first with the Texas Rangers *(I’m calling them […]
After some particularly impressive performances against usually-dominant starting pitchers last week, this graphic began making the rounds on social media… A truly remarkable battering of three hurlers who could easily find themselves in AL Cy Young Award consideration by season’s end. Per my usual “this got me wondering about…” thought process, I looked back at […]
The Red Sox broke out the bats in need of a response from Tuesday’s shutout loss. A big day for Trevor Story (5 RBIs) helped Boston earn a 9-5 win over the Minnesota Twins. The Red Sox avoided the sweep against the best team in the American League so far. Here are three takeaways from […]
They blew our doors off‘Cause sometimes it’s pain;It’s always crazy like that.As we watched from our couches,We had hope in the upside;It may continue.We saw as Woods Richardson threw;Strong start, a Martin jack,But it crashed amid a muddled third,And we hit the sack.First Luke erred, then Story hit one over the wallWhile Early made our […]
