Minnesota Twins Bid Farewell to Kennys Vargas

Trevor Plouffe singled in Danny Santana in the 10th inning to give the Minnesota Twins a 5-4 comeback victory over Cleveland, further damaging the Indians' already slim playoff hopes.

The Detroit Tigers were barely finished celebrating another go-ahead homer in the ninth inning when an ill-advised dive and an infield single cost them a victory. Aaron Hicks hit a two-out RBI single in the ninth inning and the Minnesota Twins rallied for a 4-3 victory over the AL Central-leading Tigers on Tuesday night.

Rookie T.J. House pitched seven sharp innings, Carlos Santana homered and drove in both runs and the Cleveland Indians completed a doubleheader sweep with a 2-0 win over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday.

The Los Angeles Angels have been winning lately with contributions from different players each game. On Sunday, everyone took a turn.

In the midst of their fourth straight dismal season, the Minnesota Twins got big performances Wednesday night from players they hope will be building blocks for years to come.

The Kansas City Royals conjured up a little more late-game magic Wednesday night. This time, they didn't wait until the ninth inning.

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.

Phil Hughes has been pitching with a cracked nail on his right index finger, a common side effect of the sharp curveball he throws. He's kept the nail intact with super glue. The big righty has done a nice job of holding the Minnesota Twins' rotation together, too.

On a day when he had everything going, the only thing that frustrated Minnesota pitcher Kyle Gibson was he had to leave the game. The Twins' right-hander was dominant in a 3-1 win against the Houston Astros, allowing six hits and one run in 7 2/3 innings on Wednesday.
