Ah, here it is - July 14 was the last time the Twins won on a Thursday (they moved to 6 games under .500 on that day, 6 games out of first). Which reminds me, let's check out the day-of-the-week standings with 6 days and 7 games (double-header on Saturday, get excited!) remaining.
W | L | PCT | |
Sunday | 10 | 14 | .417 |
Monday | 4 | 15 | .211 |
Tuesday | 10 | 12 | .455 |
Wednesday | 12 | 11 | .522 |
Thursday | 8 | 10 | .444 |
Friday | 8 | 16 | .333 |
Saturday | 8 | 17 | .320 |
I would have bet and lost a large sum of money that there wasn't a day of the week over .500 this season. I will note that Tuesday now has the longest losing streak at 8 games (going back to July 26).
