Very little offense across the board. The Red Wings still just want to get a game in.

Minor Details: Games of April 7
Tremendous pitching by Stephen Gonsalves and company for the Lookouts. Travis Blankenhorn has a good day for Fort Myers. The Manfred Rule doesn't help if your runner gets picked off second. The Red Wings just want to play.
Minor Details: Games of April 6
Travis Blankenhorn had a big day, but Jaylin Davis got the key hit. The big winner of the day, though, was Mother Nature.
Twins Full Season Minor League Preview
All of the Twins' full-season minor league teams start tonight except for the Rochester Red Wings, which start tomorrow. No team has the same manager it did last year. Two of the managers, Tommy Watkins and Ramon Borrego, managed in the Twins' system last year, but they managed different teams. The Twins appear to have added a coach, going from two to three, at every level except high-A. I don't know why they didn't add a coach there.

Adalberto Mejia does well in a rehab assignment, but the Red Wings miss the playoffs. The Lookouts set a modern-era wins record. The Kernels prepare for the playoffs. A big offensive day keeps the E-Twins alive.

The Red Wings let one get a way. LaMonte Wade leads the Lookouts. The Miracle clinch the division. Elizabethton has its first playoff game rained out and will play tonight. The GCL Twins have a playoff game this morning. The DSL Twins are done.
Minor Details: Games of September 1
A solid performance by Aaron Slegers. Dereck Rodriguez pitches well and Gabriel Moya has nothing to learn in Chattanooga. Anthony Marzi pitches well in his high-A debut, but Fort Myers fails to clinch the division. Jimmy Kerrigan hit two homers. Mariano Calcano keeps the DSL Twins' hopes alive.
