The Minnesota Twins opened up their season blowing a lead in the 9th inning against the Milwaukee Brewers but since that point they have won two straight games. On Saturday the Twins were able to win 2-0 and on Sunday it was much of hte same as the Twins won 8-2. The long ball has been a big part of the Twins offense the last few years and on Sunday Miguel Sano and Mitch Garver both hit one out of the ballpark. Injuries are already starting to hurt the Twins and Josh Donaldson is on the DL. Byron Buxton also ha to leave Sunday’s game and his status is up in the air.
