It might not seem like much, but 67 wins is their highest total since 2010. And there is still a week or so left to play. At the beginning of the season I was hoping for 72 wins. 70 or more is still a possibility.
Hughes has been the ace this year, but Kyle Gibson, as of late, has been a pleasant surprise. At 13-11, he's given the Twins a second reliable starter. Last year we had none. The Twins have a few more pieces of the puzzle in place this year than last. You build a winner one piece at a time. I'm not optimistic yet, but I am encouraged. Even Hicks' on-base percentage is fantastic despite the low batting average. Hopefully that kind of patience at the plate will eventually be rewarded.
Speaking of Hughes, he goes for win number 16 tonight.
