A look back at Wednesday afternoon's game.
Twins
Reusse: Twins make getting swept part of their stupefying routine
The 2016 Twins were swept in three three-game series to open the season, and then in three more three-game series over the next 22 games. It hasn't gotten better since.
Twins
Reusse: Twins of 1981 were unwatchable, but better than these 2016 yahoos
The opinion here long has been that the most-unwatchable team in Twins history was the 1981 collection. But at least there were two positive elements to that season: A new manager and a players' strike.

Twins beatings continue with another early knockout
Ervin Santana was roasted by the Royals, who slapped him into submission in fewer than four innings, and the Twins raised hopes with a ninth-inning rally that produced only more frustration.

Grossman gets first-ever middle-of-the-lineup start tonight for Twins
Robbie Grossman is batting fifth for the Twins tonight against Kansas City while Byung Ho Park and Brian Dozier get a night off in an effort to break their slumps.
Was it a double-standard to leave Miguel Sano in after taking Eddie Rosario out?
While both Miguel Sano and Eddie Rosario had breakout rookie 2015 seasons in their own ways, Sano is a potential future star while Rosario's ceiling is probably lower as a potential solid contributor.

Scoggins: Maybe Dozier will get the hint from the bench
In a season of disappointment for almost every Twins player in uniform, Dozier looks lost — defiant is probably more accurate — at the plate as he attempts to yank every pitch down the left-field line.

Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph announces twins are on the way — at Twins game
The Vikings and Twins are going in about as complete opposite directions as possible at the moment, but at least in the very short-term their worlds collided at Target Field.
Twins
Nolasco, Twins swamped by Kansas City's 10-run attack
Ricky Nolasco retired only eight of 18 Royals batters before being knocked out. After 44 games, the Twins still don't have a starting pitcher who has won more than one game.

Ugly numbers: Twins pitchers trying for their second win
Monday marked the 16th time a Twins starter took mound looking for win No. 2. None succeeded.
Twins
Escobar's return from DL might pinch playing time for Nunez
Eduardo Nunez entered Monday as the Twins' leader in hits, doubles and batting average. And he's not certain, at the moment, that he has a job.

When things go this bad this fast, it can be instructive to take a look back to right before the season started to remember what the temperature was like.
Twins
Light-hitting Twins no match for Donaldson and loud-chirping Jays
The Jays started the game with two home runs off pitcher Phil Hughes, including one by Josh Donaldson, who let Twins coach Joe Vavra know he was miffed about what had taken placed during Saturday's game.
Twins
Souhan: With Twins' Perkins and Hughes, where is sense of urgency?
The friendship between Glen Perkins and Phil Hughes seemed a charming story, until it wasn't. Now their fragility is a pivotal problem for a besieged franchise.
