The team with the leagues 25th worst payroll continues to roll in June. The Twins have continued this seasons trend of AL teams beating up on NL teams. So far in interleague play the AL has dominated wining 135 games to 88 losses. The Twins have had fun beating up Milwaukee, Washington, Arizona and San Diego.

Over the last 16 games the Twins pitching staff has only allowed more than 5 runs twice. On average Twins pitching is giving up 2.5 runs a game. When the pitching is clicking the Twins win games. Had it not been for a 4 game sweep to the Southsiders earlier in June where the pitching gave up 40 runs, the Twins would be in 1st place.
Looking forward to the next 15 games before the break, the Twins could increase their lead over 3rd place Detroit and make this a two pony race. With 3 games at home and 4 on the road vs. Detroit there is a real opportunity to puncture some holes in the Tigers ship.
There is no reason the M&M boys should not be playing the All-Star game this year. As of June 27th Mauer is a few points from leading the AL in average and Morneau already has 63 RBI’s. I’m looking forward to many years of productivity from this tandem.
