The Minnesota Twins are sitting at 19-15 atop the AL Central. Let’s take a look at who’s been helping them get there and who’s been holding them back.

It seems as if the Minnesota Twins have hit their stride, 30+ games into the season. They have spent more time at the top of their division than any other team in the AL Central, including the Cleveland Indians.

A solid week last week helped them gain a one-game hold on the top spot in the division, and they are now looking forward to a week of home games to try to keep hold of it.

May is closing out quicker than expected, and the Twins are still red hot. Let’s go ahead and take a look at who’s been helping the Twins and who’s been hurting them.
