The Minnesota Twins stayed hot on Saturday to earn their 13th straight win, blanking the Milwaukee Brewers 7-0. While the Twins’ current winning streak is the longest in Major League Baseball this season, it isn’t the longest in team history since the franchise moved to Minnesota.
That record belongs to the 1991 Twins, who reeled off 15 victories in a row and went on to win the World Series that year. But the 2025 Twins can claim a franchise record of their own: They have pitched 33 straight scoreless innings.
The Twins haven’t allowed a run since giving up six of them in the third inning of an 8-6 victory at Baltimore in the second game of a doubleheader Wednesday.
Milwaukee has been shut out in four of its last five games, the first time that’s happened in franchise history, according to Sportradar. According to Sportradar, the last team to get shut out four times in a five-game stretch was the Miami Marlins in July 2022.

Ryan Jeffers went 4-for-5 with a homer and double, and Kody Clemens went 3-for-5 with a homer as the Twins collected 18 hits.
Twins starter Pablo Lopez combined with three relievers on a three-hitter. López (4-2) struck out six and allowed two hits and two walks in six innings. Justin Topa, Jorge Alcala and Kody Funderburk each pitched one inning of relief.

The Twins took control of the game by scoring single runs in each of the first six innings. Four of those runs came off Tobias Myers, who was sent to the minors earlier this week before getting called back up when left-hander Jose Quintana went on the injured list.
Jeffers opened the scoring by hitting a 420-foot shot to left-center with one out in the first inning. He also doubled and scored in the third, singled in the fourth and singled in the eighth.

Tostão em entrevista ao jornal "O Tempo" (Reprodução - YouTube) Tostão subiu o tom contra o plantel de três times de expressão do futebol brasileiro. Em texto publicado na coluna da Folha de S. Paulo neste sábado (17), ele foi contundente ao apontar que Santos, Grêmio e Vasco sofrem neste início do Brasileirão por terem elencos limitados. No entendimento dele, há um equívoco em comum do trio em pensar que o principal problema esteja com os treinadores, e não com o material humano disponível nas equipes. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Existe um enorme exagero em muitas e rápidas avaliações de treinadores e jogadores. É o mundo imediatista em que vivemos. Por causa da mesma pressa, treinadores são dispensados, como se fossem os únicos culpados pelas derrotas”, iniciou Tostão, citando o trio na sequência. “Santos, Grêmio e Vasco, três gigantes do futebol brasileiro, […]
