Streaking Twins, slumping Rangers heading in opposite directions

The Minnesota Twins haven't lost since holding a closed-door meeting last week. After the Twins lost their seventh straight game last Monday, 12-3 at the Washington Nationals, the players called a closed-door meeting in an effort to get to the bottom of their failures. Minnesota went out the next day and clobbered Washington 10-0 before winning its next two games by matching 3-2 scores, including the series opener against the Rangers on Friday. The Twins then trailed 3-2 with six outs to go on Saturday before Alex Kirilloff hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth to lead them to a 5-3 win.
