Twins turn a triple play after Buxton runs down a hard hit ball to the warning track! It looked like it was Griffin Jax's turn to implode after giving up a double, hit batter, and game tying RBI single before the critical triple play got them out of a jam.

The Twins walk it off in the 9th for the 2nd straight game! They entered the 9th trailing 3-2, which Polanco promptly tied with a solo shot to lead off the 9th. After Gordon struck out, Kirilloff doubled, Sanchez singled, and Miranda singled in the game winning run. Impressive resilience for a...

Unbelievable. DFA Pagan tonight. This is completely on Rocco. An utter embarrassment of a decision to bring Pagan in. Lead with Cotton and have Thornburg ready. Pagan should have never seen another inning this series unless it's a blowout like game 1.

I wish but he's already at 33 pitches so no chance Rocco brings him back out.

Correa with the cluth pinch-hit single to give the Twins a 4-3 lead in the top of the 10th. It looks like it will be Pagan (lol) in the bottom half so hopefully the Twins can tack on 2 more as we will likely need them. Edit: Kepler answers the call with a 2 run shot and Twins lead 6-3. If...

Boosters have run the show behind the scenes for decades in college football. It's just become more public now with the NIL. Guys like Boone Pickens, B. Wayne Hughes (prior to his passing), Stephen Ross, Terry Pegula and Phil Knight have given money ranging from $100's of millions to $1+ billion...

Buxton crushes HR #20 to dead center and the Twins lead 6-0. A career high in homeruns for Buxton and not even halfway through the season yet. Hopefully his health holds up and this should be a 30+ HR year for him.

No clue what Garlick is thinking during that at-bat. Pilkington just threw a 4 pitch walk to Correa and starts out 2-0 to Garlick. He swings at pitch 3 up above the strikezone, takes another ball, swings at the 3-1 pitch which was a ball inside and then swings at a changeup outside the zone to...

Yup. Several what if/missed opportunities late in this game. You can go back to the 3-2 pitch to Kwan that was just outside. An inch or two closer and that would have been a strike em out/throw em out as Sanchez threw out Straw stealing 2nd. Twins were again gifted multiple baserunners in the...

Twins fall 3-2 and the division lead is down to 2. Nightcap is critical but given Winder's history, it's looking likely we will be into the pen early. Offense will need to produce.

Also cannot overlook the fact that after Correa's homerun, Kepler was gifted 2nd base on an error within nobody out. Garlick followed with an unproductive at-bat before Buxton and Sanchez went down on strikes. Great teams take advantage of opportunities and obviously that "insurance run" that...

The Twins rally late by scoring a run in the 7th and 8th to take a 2-1 lead. Pagan comes in and promptly walks the first two batters, throws a wild pitch and then gives up a 2 run single as the Twins trail 3-2. Will need to rally again in the 9th. As far as Pagan goes, this is his 3rd straight...

The weird thing is that the offensive explosion tonight saw the top 4 hitters go a combined 1-15 with 2 BBs and 5 Ks (not including the pinch-hit at-bats against a non-pitcher). Granted, the 1 hit was Correa's 2 run shot. Hopefully we see them rebound in the doubleheader tomorrow.

I think the Twins have a pretty good mix of young pitchers showing potential and/or executing at the MLB level currently. While several came over in trades, most have been in the organization for at least a year. As always, health will play a major role as guys like Winder, Alcala and Ober have...

Twins offense is lifeless again for the 2nd straight day as they lose 1-0 to a Rockies team that was 10 games below .500 and had a pitcher on the mound with an era of 6.16 prior to throwing 7.2 innings of scoreless ball tonight. It's the 6th time in the past 11 games that the Twins offense has...

Rocco mis-managing games has been par for the course for the past 1.5 seasons. This is clearly not a postseason team as currently constructed. This team should be in full-on sell mode as we approach the deadline. Take what you can get for guys like Pagan, Sanchez, Joe Smith, Thielbar, Duffey...

Urshela hits a huge 3 run homer and the Twins strike for 4 in the bottom of the 7th. They did all the damage with 2 outs. Let's see if the bullpen can hold this lead.

Second straight night the Twins bullpen implodes as Cotton gives up a solo shot and then a 2 run HR in the 7th. This after Gray cannot even make to 5 IP. Since May 1st, the Twins have had just 3 starts where the SP made it at least 7 IP. Rocco is already taxing a mediocre bullpen and with their...

Including his 2 at-bats thus far tonight, Gary Sanchez is 9 for 55 (.164) in June with 15 strikeouts. I'd rather see Garlick, Moranda or Gordon get at-bats at DH instead.

Incredibly surprising to say the least. 60 years old and fresh off a Final 4 run. His last 9 years have been pretty remarkable as he has gone 263-53 (130-31 in conference - Won conference title 7 of 9 years and finished 2nd the other two years) with 3 Final 4s and 2 National Championship titles.
