Another week, more series losses. The Twins went 2-4 this week, dropping series to both the Los Angeles Angels and Arizona Diamondbacks. There were some fireworks, including a three-homer game from Kody Clemens last Friday and a two-homer game from Royce Lewis on Monday.
Walker Jenkins' first home run at CHS Field was one to remember. The Twins' top prospect absolutely demolished a baseball in Triple-A St. Paul's 11-7 win over Columbus on Sunday afternoon.
Well, gang, it looks like the day of the week doesn’t have any effect on things. No matter when I cover the game, the Twins WILL lose. That’s the Twinkie Town guarantee.
Regardless of how challenging the odds might be, the Arizona Diamondbacks plan to keep charging toward trying to gain a wild-card berth. Arizona (74-75) will look to improve its chances when it plays the Minnesota Twins (65-83) on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis.
The Minnesota Twins were officially eliminated from playoff contention after losing to the Diamondbacks on Saturday night. It marks the fourth time in the last five years that Minnesota will not be in the postseason.
Alek Thomas hit a two-run homer, Blaze Alexander doubled and drove in a pair and the Arizona Diamondbacks outlasted the Minnesota Twins for a 5-2 win in 10 innings on Saturday night in Minneapolis.
Kody Clemens joined a fairly small club (and one much smaller one) with an incredible, career-best performance on Friday night at Target Field. He bashed three home runs and also hit an RBI double in the Twins' wild 9-8 walkoff win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Kody Clemens belted three home runs, Luke Keaschall drove a fly ball to center field for a walk-off sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth, and the Minnesota Twins rallied for a 9-8 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night in Minneapolis.
The Twins have called up reliever Cody Laweryson from Triple-A St. Paul and placed Justin Topa on the 15-day injured list due to an oblique strain, ending his season.
The Houston Astros needed every bit of Carlos Correa's milestone home run on Wednesday. In a game the Astros edged out the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2, Correa reached a new round number for career home runs.
In what has been a season full of despair, Luke Keaschall has certainly been a bright spot in the Twin Cities. The rookie infielder debuted this season in April before getting injured and returning in August.
The Minnesota Twins were hit with a wave of concern on Sunday after center fielder Byron Buxton exited the game following a hit-by-pitch. In the top of the fifth inning against the Kansas City Royals, Buxton was struck in the left knee by a 91.8 mph sinker from starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen.
The Minnesota Twins start a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals. The Twins are coming off being swept by the Chicago White Sox, in which they were outscored 33-19.
The Minnesota Twins have had a horrible season. Sadly, it has resulted in the Twins having a fire sale and trading many key players. That should make the Twins’ free agency period interesting as the 2025 MLB offseason draws near.
The Minnesota Twins are out of the playoff race. They have 30 games left this year. These games will put an end to a disappointing 2025 season. The Twins are sitting in fourth place in the AL Central with a 60-72 record.
If you are a Minnesota Twins fan, there is not exactly a lot to look forward to in the near future. One bright spot, however, is the young talent that now have space to shine.
