Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Wild were shutout 3-0 in Game 3 of their NHL Western Conference Qualifying round playoff series Thursday afternoon. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today.

The Minnesota Twins are in Missouri to begin a series with the Kansas City Royals Friday night. The Twins saw their six game winning streak come to an end Thursday afternoon when they lost to the Pirates, but still enter the series with a 10-3 record overall this season.

This week, Jay and Dave discuss MLB's season continuing despite several teams coming down with COVID-19, whether the NFL can play a full season and how the league could have put more safeguards in place, whether the Twins are the best team in baseball and more.

The Twins improved to 10-2 after downing the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 Wednesday night. Randy Dobnak threw 6 shutout innings to get the win for the Twins. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. Jim says Dobnak will have opportunities to pitch with the Twins even if injured starters Jake Odorizzi, Rich Hill and Homer Bailey are healthy.

If you are a sports fan, today is the day you have been dreaming of since the COVID-19 lockdown started in March: A full day of sports on the radio and television!

The Twins will look to complete a sweep of the two-game set in Pittsburgh Thursday afternoon. First pitch is set for 12:35 on AM 1240/FM 95.3 WJON.

It's been a veritable sports smorgasbord the last couple of weeks, with MLB returning to playing meaningful real games, the NBA getting back on the court Thursday, the NHL playing exhibition games and NFL players reporting to training camps.

The Twins beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 Wednesday behind 5 shutout innings from starting pitcher Rich Hill. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. Jim says the Twins would happily take 5 innings with 2 or less runs allowed with any starts from Hill.

The Twins will host Cleveland Thursday night at Target Field in key early season series. First pitch is set for 6:05 p.m. on WJON.

Baseball is back (for now anyway)! Twins Daily's Seth Stohs joined WJON's "Hang Up and Listen" Tuesday to talk about the return to action.
