Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Twins have announced Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers at Target Field has been postponed due to weather.

The Twins blanked the Cleveland Indians 2-0 Thursday to win their season and home opener. Jose Berrios made his first opening day start and threw 7 2/3 innings with 2 hits and no runs allowed with 10 strikeouts to earn the win.

Twins' center fielder Byron Buxton is batting .400 and stole 2 bases yesterday. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me today on WJON. He suggested that Buxton start the year hitting 9th to take the pressure off and give him a chance to be a 2nd lead-off man.

Byron Buxton is 5-5 to start the spring with 2 home runs and 10 RBIs. Star Tribune Twins beat writer Lavelle E Neal III joined me on WJON today. He talked about the reasons for Buxton's hot start and if this is something we should bank on for the season.

The Minnesota Twins have set the date for retiring Joe Mauer's No. 7 jersey.

ESPN recently released a report reviewing health inspection reports for 111 North American sports venues. The four major Minnesota venues (US Bank Stadium, Target Field, Xcel Energy Center and Target Center) all fared poorly in the report.

The Minnesota Twins will fire manager Paul Molitor at a press conference Tuesday afternoon, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

Joe Mauer received one more pitch as catcher for the Twins, and Minnesota likely said goodbye to the longtime face of its franchise during an emotional 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.

Jose Berrios went seven innings only giving up one earned run to give the Twins a 2-1 win over the White Sox Friday afternoon.

The Twins will host the White Sox for a doubleheader Friday against the White Sox. Game one begins at 1:10, with game two starting at 7:10.
