The Timberwolves earned an upset win against the Utah Jazz, the Wild won their seventh straight game and secured a spot in the playoffs, and the Twins failed to get much offense going in a loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday.

The Twins are promoting outfielder Alex Kirilloff and infielder Nick Gordon. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says the Twins have higher hopes for Kirilloff than Gordeon. Souhan says Kirilloff could be their answer in left field and his high end could be a Max Kepler with better plate disipline.
The Twins lost 13-12 at Oakland in 10 innings to the Athletics. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says it's undeniable that the bullpen is struggling especially Alex Colome and Hansel Robles. He says Taylor Rogers should be installed as the closer at least in the short term to instill some confidence.
