The third baseman’s grounder was picked up by reliever Edgardo Hernandez, who threw the ball into right field. As it rolled all the way to the outfield wall, all three runners came around to score in the seventh inning of the Twins’ 10-7 win over the Dodgers on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium.

Jhoan Duran, the star Twins closer, hadn't allowed a homer in 75 1/3 innings before Shohei Ohtani, somehow, hit a 100 mph splinker over the wall.

The Twins are the worst-hitting team in baseball with the bases loaded, and their numbers only got worse Tuesday night. Funny thing, though. Turns out, you don’t need a hit to score when the bases are loaded.

Royce Lewis and Christian Vazquez each drove in three runs as the Minnesota Twins beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-7 on Tuesday night. Lewis, a native of nearby Orange County, Calif., had a runs-scoring fielder's choice in the second inning,

The Twins are seeking at least two top-100 caliber prospects in exchange for either Duran or Jax, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.

Walks and a terrible fielding effort help the Twins defeat the Dodgers, who are now 1-4 since the All-Star break.

As the days count down before the July 31 Trade Deadline, Twins players and coaches know that there is extra urgency attached to every game. On Tuesday, they showed how deep they are willing to dig for a win.
