Twins' Marquis withstands rough first inning
Jason Marquis was spotted four runs before he ever took the mound in his Twins debut Wednesday.
He nearly gave that lead right back in his first-ever inning in a Minnesota uniform and his first start since Aug. 14 of last season, when he suffered a broken leg.
Marquis' first inning of work as a Twin was a shaky one, as he gave up three runs on four hits and two walks against...
Twins look to grab rare series win in New York
Paced by Justin Morneau's continued success in the Bronx, the Minnesota Twins are in position to win their first series in New York in almost 11 years.
The Twins can accomplish that feat with a second straight victory over the Yankees on Thursday night.
Morneau doubled his home run total for the season with two in Wednesday's 6-5 win at Yankee Stadium. The 2006 AL MVP,...
Twins can take plenty of positives from NYC
The Minnesota Twins headed to the Big Apple at the beginning of the week as winners of just two games through their first three series this year. Minnesota was coming off a three-game sweep at the hands of arguably the best team in this early season, the Texas Rangers.
It was early, but the Twins were searching for answers.
While manager Ron Gardenhire's club lost Thursday...
Twins' Willingham continues trend of big hits
Josh Willingham is going streaking.
With his seventh-inning double in Friday's 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, Willingham has now recorded a hit in each of his first 14 games with Minnesota this season. According to the Twins' public relations department, it's the longest hitting streak by a Minnesota player to start a career with the team. Willingham was signed this...
Twins cut Hughes to make room for Marquis
The Minnesota Twins have cut infielder Luke Hughes to open a roster spot for pitcher Jason Marquis, who has been recalled from Double-A New Britain to start against the New York Yankees.
Marquis, who grew up in New York and still lives in the city, was set to make his first appearance with his new team. He signed a $3 million, one-year contract with the Twins in the offseason but...
Healthy Twins relish two wins in Bronx
For one night, it was almost as if the Twins were back. Better than back, actually, considering they had not won two games in a season at Yankee Stadium since 2001 -- Tom Kelly's final season as manager.
Grim realities likely await this club, but its 6-5 triumph over the Yankees on Wednesday night (giving the Twins two of three games in the series) was downright moving -- and...

When the Twins signed 30-year-old right-hander Jared Burton to a minor league contract this winter, it was little more than a blip on the offseason radar. He managed to rack up 1.3 WAR in 161 relief innings for a Reds from 2007-2009 after being taken from the Athletics in the Rule 5 Draft, but hyperthyroidism and shoulder surgery limited him to just eight big league innings in 2010...

Rough 7th hands Rays loss against Twins
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- Josh Willingham extended his season-opening hitting streak to 14 games with a go-ahead three-run double and the Minnesota Twins beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 on Friday night.
Willingham's hit in the seventh off Joel Peralta puts him one away from tying Kirby Puckett's team mark of hitting safely in 15 straight games to start the 1994 season.

To say that Curtis Granderson had a good night for the Yankees tonight would be a understatement. Granderson had a fantastic night, he hit three home runs and went five for five to push the New York Yankees past the Minnesota Twins 7-6 to help the Yankees split the four game series with the Twins. If Granderson doesn’t hit three home runs the Yankees would have lost the series...
