Kendrys Morales

Kendrys Morales is on his way back to Seattle to try and give the Mariners' struggling offense a boost as they chase a playoff spot.

Yohan Pino has the game ball to prove he belongs in the majors, even if he doesn't have a big league job anymore.

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.

Kendrys Morales slapped a line drive away from the Texas shift, landing it just inside the foul line in left field where the only person close to it was a security guard scrambling to get out of the way. A deft leap from the guard kept the ball in play and sent the Twins on their way to ending a 10-game road losing streak.

Garrett Richards pitched four-hit ball into the eighth inning to win his fourth straight decision, Kole Calhoun had a two-run double and the Angels beat the Minnesota Twins 6-2 Wednesday night for their fifth straight win.

C.J. Wilson surrendered five runs in the second inning after his teammates had scored five in the first, but Mike Trout regained the lead for the Los Angeles Angels in the bottom of the second with a two-run homer, and manager Mike Scioscia's much maligned bullpen hung on for an 8-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.

Ron Gardenhire’s Minnesota Twins have spent most of the last decade finding ways to beat the Detroit Tigers. Sunday, they handed the Tigers a game instead.

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.

On a day the Minnesota Twins added slugger Kendrys Morales to the roster, they showed they might need more pitching help. Starter Samuel Deduno was pulled in the fourth inning, relievers allowed three home runs — including two grand slams — and the Twins lost 14-5 to Houston on Sunday.
