The Twins continue to find themselves further and further behind the leaders in the American League Central and the wildcard race after a 6-1 loss to the White Sox Wednesday.

The Twins lost 4-1 at home to the Chicago White Sox Tuesday night to even the series 1 game apiece heading into today's rubber game. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today.

The Twins have been limiting the at-bats of 1st baseman Miguel Sano in the last couple of weeks. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says Sano just isn't a good hitter right now and his approach has to change otherwise his time with the Twins may not last long.

The Twins have lost the first two games of their 3-game set with the White Sox in Chicago after falling 13-3 Wednesday night. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. Jim says he doesn't expect the Twins to sell off many valuable players because they anticipate being competitive next season.

The Twins lost 7-6 Tuesday night in the first game of a 3-game series at Chicago against the American League Central Division leading White Sox.

The Twins lost 4-1 at home to the Cleveland Indians Thursday night in the first game of the 4-game series. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today.

Jim says despite the big hit from Rosario last night he's had a bad season and the Twins' decision to let him go was the right one.

The Twins lost 10-7 Tuesday in the final game of the short 2-game series with the Reds at Target Field. Relief pitchers Alex Colome and Hansel Robles both struggled late in the game with Robles allowing 3 runs in the 9th inning. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today.
