Orioles 5, Twins 2: O’s power past Twins
The Orioles blasted a pair of two-run homers in the first two innings against Bailey Ober to jump out to an early lead. The damage was done by Pete Alonso and Gunnar Henderson. The Twins loaded the bases in the 2nd inning with no outs and only got one run out of it. In the […]

Twins 9, Orioles 5: I Kremer Saw I Conquered
They say to keep your friends close, and your enemies closer, which is why for most of my adult life I’ve hung out with people who I don’t really like. Tonight, starter Dean Kremer proved why that maxim is not just a magazine, spinning a gem against his former club in a shiny 7-inning, one-hit […]
Game 120: Orioles at Twins
First Pitch: 6:40 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy In the revenge tour we’ve all been waiting for, Dean Kremer faces his former team just days after they kicked him to the curb.

Monday Morning Minnesota: The “Youth Movement” Edition
Last week was a mixed bag for the Twins. After wrapping up the trade deadline by picking up a couple of additions to the pitching staff, they promptly dropped two straight series. Then they got the bad news that Joe Ryan was heading to the injured list due to a glute strain, but the youth […]
Brewers 4, Twins 3 (10): Too full from late LOBster
After dropping last night’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Minnesota Twins came into today’s game looking for a series win against MLB’s top team. The rubber match looked to be lopsided, giving the Twins an uphill climb towards a victory. However, it turned out to be a pleasant pitching duel to finish out the […]

Brewers 4, Twins 3: Falling Short
Tonight, Andrew Vaughn reminded Twins Territory why any player whose career has involved only the Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers is bad news for a team based in Minnesota. Vaughn’s tiebreaking eighth-inning single sealed the deal on a Brew Crew win, evening the series and handing the loss to recent acquisition Jeff Hoffman. The […]

Twins 8, Brewers 6: The pen (also, hitting) is mightier than the sword (the defense)
The kid had the jitters. Look, it happens. But Aidan still believes in Kaelen Culpepper’s glove, and because of that so do I. The Brewers, who are very good at taking advantage of other teams’ mistakes, did precisely that, but it wasn’t quite enough. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Leadoff walk for Austin Martin; he steals second, […]

Would Major League Baseball be better with a salary cap/floor?
When I was an adolescent, I’d often stay up late basking in the glow of my 27” cathode ray tube television watching movies on cable. Sometimes, I’d push it so far as to bump into TV networks’ “nite owl” programming. If that happened to be something religious or controversial, a title card would flash reading […]
Twins 4, Royals 3: Late hits with RISP? It’s true! (Not a trap.)
The Minnesota Twins desperately needed a win tonight against the Kansas City Royals for a variety of reasons. One reason: to win a game in August. Another couple reasons: to keep pace in the American League Central and Wild Card races. One more reason: to see if the offense is alive. Bailey Ober kept the […]

Twins Top 40 Prospects: August 2026
Draftees, trades, and graduations have really shaken things up in the Twins organization this month as the system has added and lost a bunch of notable prospects. The top of the list remains loaded high-minors talent that is likely to contribute to the major league team in 2027 or potentially as early as this fall. […]
Royals 2, Twins 1: Noah’s Arc
This week, my young nephew is attending summer Vacation Bible School. In terms of biblical tales involving heroes, he could have gotten a similar education by flipping on the ballgame tonight and observing Noah Cameron’s mound arc sinking the Minnesota Twins. The starting pitchers—Dean Kremer in his MN debut & Cameron for the Kansas City […]

I’m filling in for Matt tonight, so we’ll have a different sort of medium to […]
Royals 8, Twins 2: A bad baseball game
The Royals got on the board first tonight against Joe Ryan. A pair of singles followed by a sac-fly RBI by Salvador Perez got the job done. Then, Michael Massey ripped a double to left-center to make it 2-0, Royals. The Twins, who struggled against Randy Dobnak the last time they faced him, continued those […]

Grading the Twins’ trade deadline
The Twins came into the trade deadline with three clear goals: improve the bullpen, rotation depth, and find a way to get into the playoffs. With the Tigers, Royals, and Orioles pivoting to sell mode, the path became clearer for GM Jeremy Zoll and owner Tom Pohlad, even if the playoff odds don’t yet reflect […]
BREAKING: Twins acquire Jeff Hoffman from Blue Jays
After sending one of their best relievers to Toronto at last year’s trade deadline, the Blue Jays have returned the favor in 2026.

Monday Morning Minnesota: The “Going For It” Edition
The Twins actually put their money where their mouth was, making a couple of trades last week that involved sending out prospects to bring in veteran pitching help. AJ Minter and Dean Kremer are the new additions to the squad, and while these aren’t the most earth-shaking transactions, they are something. It remains to be […]
Mariners 7, Twins 6: Breaking Zeus’s Law
In director Christopher Nolan’s epic film The Odyssey—currently still dominating theaters near you—the concept of Zeus’s Law is front and center. It states that hosts must welcome travelers with food and shelter in exchange for similar treatment from others. This weekend, the Seattle Mariners did not observe Zeus’s Law—instead playing the Robert Pattinson role—taking two-of-three […]
