Twins keep fighting, but will it ever result in anything more than silver linings?

NEW YORK — Pundits and oddsmakers don’t think much of them. Their fans are cursing up a storm across social media. But the Minnesota Twins are intent on proving they’re no pushover, rallying late Thursday for the second time in three nights to put a scare into the high-priced New York Mets.Ultimately, the Twins fell short when it mattered, dropping a 10-8 decision to the Mets at Citi Field in the rubber match of a three-game series. But at the very least, the underdog Twins are developing an identity as a team that refuses to buy into the low expectations everyone else has for them.Advertisement
