Ichiro Suzuki hit a two-run double and Chris Woodward added two RBIs as the Mariners handed CC Sabathia (7-5) his second loss in 11 starts. Seattle won in the Bronx for the first time since Sept.

Winning homestand can go long way for Twins

Tonight, the Twins start a nine-game homestand to complete the pre-All-Star break. This homestand should bring out the best out of the home team and its fans with the Tigers, Yankees and the White Sox being the opposition.

I was told today that the Twins have made an offer to Dominican superprospect Miguel Angel Sano - but it’s contingent on him being able to prove that he’s 16. When I first head that, I was like, “Well, yah, if he’s not 16 then aren’t all deals off anyway?” Anyway, that’s what I was told [...]

via Bleacher Report - MN Twins July 02, 2009 at 10:47 AM

First, to take a look at May's Minor League Month in Review, click here.The short-season leagues started this month, which caused quite a bit of player movement throughout the minor league system. Another reason for a lot of player movement in June is due to a few Minor League All-Star Games that were played, in which the Twins enjoy seeing their players participate in (if elected).
