Twins 11, A’s 3: Matt Wallner’s grand slam propels Twins to victory
Photo by Adam Bettcher/ A five run first inning was more than enough to seal this one. On a rainy Tuesday night in a meaningless game Matt Wallner absolutely destroyed a baseball. With the bases loaded and two out in the bottom of the 1st, Wallner crushed an inside pitch 463 feet to right center for a grand slam. I’m not even sure where or if this ball landed, despite video evidence. That came after a bases loaded walk by Kyle Farmer, and gave the Twins a 5-0 lead. That was more than enough for Bailey Ober, who went 5 innings and gave up just 2 hits while striking...

Twins 4, White Sox 0: Cease desists
Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/ The magic number moves again! After a week in which Twins Territory saw the magic number to clinch the AL Central descend on a daily basis, Saturday’s loss to the Chicago White Sox coupled with a Cleveland Guardians victory kept it a static 7. No such stationary status today, as the Minnesota Twins shut out the Sox and breezed out of the Windy City with a series victory. After four innings of trading outs, the Twins got to Chicago starter Dylan Cease first when a Ryan Jeffers single and Kyle Farmer walk set up an Edouard Julien oppo-taco for a...

Rays 5, Twins 4: Jax and five
Photo by David Berding/ Second time ain’t the charm. This is the second straight game I’ve covered where Griffin Jax gave up a homer that ended up being the deciding run in the game. Ben can’t cover wins, I can’t cover good Jax performances. How’d we get there? Due to COVID fatigue, I fell asleep. During my slumber, Dallas Keuchel gave up four runs very quickly, lasting just four innings. With the Twins down 4-0, Matt Wallner and Kyle Farmer went back to back to halve the deficit. I woke up in the bottom of the fifth, just in time to see Max Kepler line a...
