The rain dripped off the brim of his cap as Phil Hughes walked off the mound. An hour-plus delay meant the last start of his first season for Minnesota was over. That half-million-dollar bonus stayed one out away. He still earned a nice prize: the major league record for strikeout-to-walk ratio.

Albert Pujols homered and hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the ninth inning for his 2,500th hit, leading the Los Angeles Angels over Minnesota 8-5 Saturday night for their third straight win over the Twins.

Derek Norris hit a three-run homer in the 11th inning, and the A's bounced back from another blown save by Jim Johnson to beat the Minnesota Twins 7-4 on Wednesday.

Johnny Monell hit a three-run homer to key a five-run third inning, leading the Baltimore Orioles to an 11-5 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.

It’s easy to see why Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire wasn’t happy following Sunday’s loss to Cleveland. The Indians tried to give the game away by committing four errors and making numerous other mistakes, but the Twins couldn’t take advantage, ending their road trip on a sour note with a 3-1 defeat.

Robinson Cano homered twice and Andy Pettitte broke Whitey Ford’s club record for career strikeouts to help the New York Yankees snap a five-game skid with a 10-4 comeback victory over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night.

After just missing a diving catch, nothing was going to stop Ben Revere from scoring the go-ahead run one inning later. Revere had four hits and scored the decisive run, and the Philadelphia Phillies rallied to beat the Minnesota Twins 3-2 on Thursday night and snap a five-game losing streak.

It started with a double by Alex Gordon, gained momentum on a single by Eric Hosmer and another double by Billy Butler, and then was capped off by a two-run shot from Lorenzo Cain.
