The White Sox showed why they’re 7.5 games ahead of the Twins. They keep coming and coming, and are willing to do what it takes to add a run here, a run there. The Twins are largely “long ball or nothing”; tonight it was long balls then nothing. And Dean Kremer stank. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: […]
Byron Buxton has been the face of the Minnesota Twins for years, but a new core is emerging around him. Is a changing of the guard already underway?
Just a few weeks ago, this series looked like it would all but determine the AL Central.

Walker Jenkins will make his Minnesota Twins debut on Friday, and his high school coach is confident the top prospect is ready.
The White Sox and Twins open a three-game series at Target Field tonight, with Luis Castillo taking the mound against Dean Kremer in a pitching matchup that puts my judgment to the test.
