Trevor Plouffe

The Minnesota Twins got a lot of help in snapping a skid against the New York Yankees. Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli made a throwing error in the 11th inning that allowed Josh Willingham to score from second base, giving Minnesota a 2-1 victory on Saturday.

Playing in just his eighth career game, Eugenio Suarez had a double, triple, homer, two RBIs and scored three runs in Detroit's 12-9 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.

Returning home from a five-game road trip wasn’t enough for the Minnesota Twins to revive their offense in a 7-2 loss to the Texas Rangers on Monday.

Minnesota's Phil Hughes looks little like the pitcher he was last year with the Yankees. Hughes threw seven shutout innings and Trevor Plouffe homered in the Twins' 2-0 victory over the punchless San Diego Padres on Wednesday night.

David Ortiz insists he doesn't want to participate in the Home Run Derby when the All-Star Game comes to Target Field this summer, saying it would be too much for his 38-year-old body to handle. Instead, he's holding his own personal home run derby here in May.

Phil Hughes didn't come to Minnesota to be a savior. He just wanted to throw strikes and help his new team win some games. On Sunday, he gave the Twins more proof they made a wise investment.

Zack Greinke added to his century-best run on a historic night for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Greinke pitched six strong innings, Juan Uribe had two RBIs and the Dodgers earned their 10,000th win in franchise history, 6-4 over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.

It is customary in baseball for a pitcher to be awarded a commemorative baseball after his first big league win, a nice keepsake to reflect upon years down the road. The Twins' Phil Hughes did not earn his first win on Sunday. It only felt like it.

The Toronto Blue Jays were getting mowed down by Phil Hughes through the first five innings on a chilly night at Target Field, but the big swingers never panicked. The Jays have a long history of beating up on the former Yankees right-hander, so they knew it was only a matter of time before they got him in his new home in Minnesota.

Down 0-2 in the count in the 11th inning, Leury Garcia did something surprising: He bunted for a base hit. What happened next was even more unexpected.
