Twins Fall Apart

Minnesota lost to the Chicago White Sox again today, suffering defeat in the first three games of the series. With a 12-2 Chicago win, Minnesota allowed 10, 11 and 12 runs in the first three games. Will they give up thirteen tomorrow afternoon?

The Twins allowed double digits in runs just five times in their first 60 games before these three. Joe Crede went 8 for 12 in the series so far with four homers and a double. He came into the series with a .271 BA and a .489 slugging percentage, and is now at .295/.565. The Twins starters allowed 22 runs, all earned, in just eleven innings. That's an 18 ERA for the three games. The Twins came into the weekend with a chance to be competitive in the AL Central, but it looks like Chicago will send them home a broken team.
