Minnesota Twins Tickets

The anticipation of a rebuilding year yielded plenty of promise, but tough May opponents have gotten the best of the Minnesota Twins through nearly two months of play in 2013. The Twins’ schedule this past month has been filled to the brim with division leaders from both the AL and NL, including the Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox, and Atlanta Braves, but fans can look forward to a considerably lighter itinerary for June’s matchups. Twins tickets are in stock now for upcoming Target Field clashes with the Seattle Mariners (May 31-June 2), Philadelphia Phillies (June 11-13), and Detroit Tigers (June 14-16).

Notable Twins players Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau have continued to set the standard for the franchise year after year, and 2013 has been no different. As of May 29, Mauer leads the team with a .330 batting average, alongside 62 hits, four home runs and 16 RBI, while Morneau has added 34 RBI of his own and is hitting .293 with 56 hits. Starting pitcher Kevin Correia has amassed five wins in 10 starts and a 3.96 ERA for the Twins, while relief pitcher Glen Perkins has been on hand for 10 saves and a team-high 29 strikeouts in 18.2 innings of work.

At the ripe age of 29, Minnesota Twins’ perennial All-Star Joe Mauer has claimed an American League MVP Award, three batting titles, three Gold Gloves, and three Silver Slugger Awards. But in 2011, he caught the injury bug and only played 82 games. In order to save his body, the Twins decided to have him split time at catcher and first base in 2012, but after making the All-Star team once again, Mauer has announced that he’s going to revert back to his natural spot behind the plate. Though Mauer bounced back statistically in 2012 (.319 BA), he only played 74 games at catcher, and DH’ed 42 games. This year, he is said to be fully healthy, so the team announced that he should be behind the plate somewhere around 120 games. The catcher position is undoubtedly where Maurer is most comfortable, so that should mean good things for the Twins going forward.

The 2013 Twins schedule has the team playing opening day at home against the Detroit Tigers on April 1^st at 3:20 p.m. In the opening month, there will be plenty of chances for the fans to catch Mauer and the Twins at Target Field, as they’re set to invite the New York Mets, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, and Texas Rangers to town. Also during the month, the team will travel to play the Baltimore Orioles, Kansas City Royals, Chicago White Sox, and the Tigers. Now is the time to claim your 2013 Minnesota Twins tickets to get in the stands and feel the energy of springtime baseball live.
