Sorry, Twins.
You had a good start, but the streak had to end sometime.

1. D'oh! We were beaten by a bunch of Bosux no-namers like
Beckett, Wakefield, Papelbon, and Youkilis!

6. The Twins did face a great lineup for the first 6 innings, very true.
The Twins 1 hit during that time shows it.

7. One swing ended up being the difference.
But as Gardie would say: We'll get right back up, give 110%, and we'll get'em next time. :P

2. The only reason their streak even got that far...
...is because the Yankees got jobbed in the 9th last Friday.

8. Yes!
Bases loaded in the 9th, 5-3 Twins, (I don't remember who) hit a line drive down the left field line that would easily have pushed the tying run across, and probably the lead run too. Even if the lead runner didn't score, he would have been on third with less than two outs. But, the umpire called it foul. :grr:

Later that same inning, there was another "controversial" (both because they got it wrong and because it's Spring Training) call on a force play at second.

11. When half your starters will be off for 3 weeks for the WBC
you learn to not take spring training too seriously. Just a series of scrimmages.
