Twins Slide into 5th Place in Division

The first 17 games of the year have passed and the Twins are not looking impressive. After a rough start for Twins star catcher Joe Mauer, he has been placed on the disabled list because of "bilateral leg weakness". They split a 2 game series against the Kansas City Royals, and lost 3 of 4 games in Tampa Bay. They began a 4 game series with Baltimore on Monday and won the first game. Things were looking up, the twins had won 2 games in a row and are playing a weaker opponent in the Orioles...Until Tuesday when they lost to the Orioles 11-0. A deflating loss that reminds players and fans that a lot may need to change in order to right the ship. The Twins are now 6-11 on the season and are already 6 games back of the leader in the Central Division.
