Twins Fall to Angels in Yet Another Frustrating Effort
May 20, 2023 05:49 - 31 minutes - 29.3 MBThe Twins were being no-hit by Reid Detmers until the sixth, clawed back to tie the game and then take the lead on a Willi Castro homer in the seventh, and ultimately had another bullpen glitch late in a 5-4 loss at Angel Stadium Friday night.

Feeble Twins Offense Continues Descent into the Abyss in Loss to Padres

May 04, 2023 04:22 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MBYour Minnesota Twins will be looking to salvage the final game of the series against the White Sox after losing 6-4 on Wednesday night. Louie Varland pitched respectably but the offense just couldn't pick up a big hit on a night marred by questionable decisions across the entire roster (and not just the players).
