Joe Mauer

Joe Mauer surpassed Harmon Killebrew for most times to reach base safely in Minnesota Twins history.

Joe Mauer hit a grand slam to highlight a six-run fifth inning, and the Twins beat the Yankees for the first time in 10 meetings, a 10-5 victory on Tuesday night.

Joe Mauer will become the 9th player or manager to have his jersey retired by the Minnesota Twins.

The MLB trading deadline is almost upon us and teams are jockeying for position as the clock ticks down. The question is: what will the Minnesota Twins do?

Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez homered, Max Scherzer made it through six tough innings and the Detroit Tigers moved closer to another AL Central title with a 4-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night.

Kyle Gibson matched a career high with eight strikeouts, Chris Parmelee hit a two-run single after entering the game for an injured Joe Mauer, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-3 on Tuesday night.

That large early lead was long gone for the Detroit Tigers. They saw Kansas City's comeback slowly unfolding on the out-of-town scoreboard. No sweat. One big swing by Torii Hunter eased the pennant-race tension.

The Minnesota Twins were counting on their best pitcher to pull the team out of its latest funk, and Phil Hughes delivered.

Alcides Escobar led off the ninth inning with a blooper to shallow right for a single, and Alex Gordon swatted the second pitch he saw over the right-field wall to give the AL Central-leading Kansas City Royals a dramatic 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

The Minnesota Twins aren't used to scoring runs like this. Kennys Vargas drove in a career-high five and Joe Mauer had three RBIs to help Yohan Pino win his first start in more than a month as Minnesota beat the Detroit Tigers 12-4 in the first game of a day-night doubleheader Saturday.
