| Minneapolis, MN (Best E Casino) - Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Scott Baker left after completing only three innings of Saturday night's 4-1 win against the Tigers after aggravating a groin injury. This is the second consecutive start for Baker where he has left because of the groin strain which popped up in the fifth inning of his April 26 start against Texas. He did not factor into the decision in that 12-6 win. Through three frames, the right-hander surrendered only one hit while striking out two and w |

| (Best E Casino) - The Detroit Tigers and the Minnesota Twins are set to collide tonight in the second of a three-game series at the Metrodome. Detroit, picked by many to walk away with the American League crown after acquiring Edgar Renteria, Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis in the offseason, lost its first seven games of the season to dig itself an early hole. The club was starting to catch fire, having won eight of its last 10 heading into this series, but Minnesota rolled to an 11-1 victory in the open |

| (Best E Casino) - With the month of April in the rearview mirror, the Minnesota Twins have nothing to do but look forward. Sure, their 13-14 record is not what the team had hoped for at this point. But things could be worse. Cleveland and Detroit, the two teams most had pegged to once again be the front-runners in the division, share identical 14-15 records entering play Friday. The first month of the season, as far as teams in the AL Central are concerned, may as well be a wash. No one has been able to get |
