Brian Dozier

After totaling two runs in the first two games of their series in Seattle, the Twins were eager to score as many as possible Wednesday night. So even after putting up eight in the first four innings, Minnesota players were clamoring for more.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier has been selected for Monday's Home Run Derby at Target Field.

The Minnesota Twins will have a couple of hometown All-Star's next week at Target Field.

The Minnesota Twins had their top two starting pitchers set up to start this series against a sputtering New York Yankees team. First, Phil Hughes faltered against his former team. Then Kyle Gibson got roughed up. Now, the Yankees are feeling better and the Twins are in quite a funk.

Brian Dozier has been everywhere for the Minnesota Twins during a breakout season for the sweet-swinging, slick-fielding second baseman. So it was no surprise that he had his fingerprints all over an eventful ninth inning against the Chicago White Sox.

Phil Hughes pitched seven shutout innings to win in Toronto for the first time in almost three years, Kendrys Morales got three more hits and the Twins beat the Blue Jays 7-2.

Kevin Correia felt he'd been burned by bad fortune too many times this season. His luck changed on a pivotal play against the Blue Jays. Brian Dozier hit a two-run home run, Correia won for the first time in four starts and the Minnesota Twins beat Toronto 4-0 on Tuesday night.

Brian Dozier doesn't like talking about his power-hitting abilities. When told his manager referred to him as Minnesota's "igniter" over the past couple of games -- during which he homered on consecutive nights -- the Twins second baseman looked embarrassed. "The igniter? Oh goodness," Dozier said Saturday night after hitting a three-run homer that proved to be the game-winning hit in Minnesota's 4-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners.

After what Chris Parmelee has been through the last six weeks, he’ll savor this home run for a while. Parmelee hit a game-ending shot in the ninth inning and the Minnesota Twins overcame David Ortiz’s big night to beat the Boston Red Sox 8-6 on Tuesday.

Miguel Cabrera hit a three-run homer that capped a six-run second inning, sending Max Scherzer and the Detroit Tigers past the Minnesota Twins 9-3 Saturday.
