TMZ: Minnesota Twins Media Zone: March 17 Spring Training Roundup
Credit: Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports
In the scheduled battle between the Baltimore Orioles and the Minnesota Twins, Mother Nature won. The rain came down and the Twins buses never left Fort Myers, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t some Twins news to be rounded up and put in a nice little article for your reading enjoyment.
The MLB game may have been rained out, but Kevin Correia still got in some work.
Kevin Correia threw 5 innings for Triple-A Rochester today vs New Britain. 62 pitches, 3 hits, 1 unearned run, 2 BB, 5 K. #mntwins

Byron Buxton! NO! MY GOD, NO! He’s going to be fine, apparently, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
#mntwins farm director Brad Steil said Buxton's L elbow was "a little sore today, so we just held him out" .. Might play Tuesday

Gardy really likes Samuel Deduno, guys.
Gardy on Deduno: "Sammy’s been unhittable, as far as I’m concerned. As far as dominating hitters, he has probably been as good as anybody."
