The Twins just know how to win. Simple as that folks. The Twins are just at the beginning of a string of 20 games against teams with records under .500, so they should play pretty competitive baseball for the next few weeks. It will be fun while it lasts, as they run into the Tigers and Indians for what seems like two straight weeks after this is over.
Should be fun tonight with Kyle Gibson on the mound.
EDIT: Joe Mauer was a late scratch from the lineup and is headed back to Minnesota because his wife’s water broke. The babies were not due for another month, so let’s hope everything is okay for the Mauers.

| LA Angels | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 10 | 0 |
What a finish! For the 2nd night in a row the Twins almost give one away in late innings. Tonight the Twins did give up the lead in the 9th, but stormed back in the 10th, capping things off with a Chris Herrmann grand slam to put the Angels away.
I was long asleep, but Herrmann certainly gets BOD for his 3-5 night with RBI after not expecting to start tonight.
