The Twins are oe of the hottest teams in baseball. They just keep winning and winning, claiming the Boston Red Sox as their latest victim. The Twins had 14 hits in a 7-3 win last night.

Joe Mauer went 1-5 with one strike out. He had no runs and not runs batted in. Mauer’s season battnig average still hovers at .343, and is now only .001 above Freddy Sanchez of the Pittsburgh Pirates for the batting title. In the American League, Jeter moved down to .339.

The Twins also lead the MLB in all 3 major pitching categories. Santana leads the MLB with 18 wins, 237 strikeouts, and a 2.77 ERA. He could very well win the pitching triple crown.

The win last night moved the Twins to only .5 games behind the Detroit Tigers for the AL Central Division Title. Joe Mauer and the Twins will face the Red Sox again tonight at 7:05 PM EST.
