If the season ended today, the Twins would be in and playing the White Sox in the Wild Card round.

Athletics. White Sox would play NYY. It would be better to be the #6 seed rather than #5.

Getaway day, last game of the season series, play on through precipitation.

Already an official contest.

Regardless of the outcome today, the Twins have now won 5 of their last 6 series = playoff contender
 


Great to see Banda pitching better and much more like his last seasons as a Dodger 🐶
 



If they'd have lost that, they'd have had a pretty legit complaint. Field was basically unplayable. Don't know if I can recall a pitcher getting charged with a balk because he slipped on a wet mound.
 

The Scrappin Shelton’s -

Have won 4 in a row

Have won 5 of their last last 6 series

Time to go claim second place

When's the last time we swept Boston in Boston? Has to have been a while. Wasn't pretty, but somehow got it done.

Twins 6, Red Sox 5: Tarps off, brooms out!

A slog to a sweep!

From this article with a headline that made me chuckle (guessing the exact year will be supplied in articles tomorrow)

It proved to be a good development for the Minnesota Twins, who swept the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park for the first time since the early Clinton Administration!!

Twins withstand elements, storm from behind for first Fenway sweep since '94

BOSTON -- It rained throughout Sunday’s game between the Twins and Red Sox at Fenway Park. Despite the elements, Minnesota won the game, 6-5, and swept the three-game series, its first at Fenway Park since June 13-15, 1994.

Brooks’ looking to get back into your good graces @Ope3

Just for clarification, Brooks was never out of my good graces. I have been rooting for him, especially during the tracking of getting his season WAR into the black. Goes back to when I saw him have a stellar game at the plate and at short with the Saints, as I reported in this forum.

I only bailed on the career WAR tracking because it fell out of "knocking on the door" range.

Cheap Pohlads will not pay for translator for Audra to interview Kendry Rojas so poor Pablo Lopez has to do it...

Pablo Lopez did it again today for the post-game Orlando Arcia interview. Nice of him to help out any way he can while on the shelf.

Doesn't hurt to have him in the clubhouse regardless. No idea if that's normal at all especially on the road for someone going through a season long rehab.

Due to another engagement, I had to head out of the house in the 6th but had the entire game on DVR. A lot less advertising inventory is going "in house" to the Twins themselves as well as their foundation.

Some political campaign buys are helping the Twins make a buck.

Yes, I know. thanks - I was joking around😃
 





Another quality start from the 🦓

Will be interesting to see what happens when Able comes back - I think they keep Preilpp and Able and Zeb goes back down as the sixth man in the rotation
