Even the team with the worst record in the majors can jump up and bite you every now and then. The Chicago Cubs ended the Twins' four game winning streak with an 8-2 victory at Target Field Sunday. Minnesota managed just four hits through eight innings against Ryan Dempster of the Cubs. Meanwhile, Francisco Liriano saw his record fall to 1-7.

It's game two of the Twins-White Sox series at Target Field tonight. Minnesota starter Liam Hendriks is looking for his first win in the majors. Chicago starter Gavin Floyd, meanwhile, would love to end his eight-game winless streak against the Twins.

Carl Pavano lasted just 3.2 innings and allowed six earned runs for the second straight start as the Indians belted the Twins, 7-1 in Cleveland Friday night. The biggest blow to Pavano and the Twins came in the fourth inning, when Jason Kipnis hit a grand slam. The loss snaps Minnesota's three-game winning streak.

Minnesota's winning streak ran into the buzz saw that is Justin Verlander's right arm. Chris Parmalee's solo homer was the only run the Twins could muster, while Detroit's Miguel Cabrera homered in back-to-back innings. Starter Brian Duensing had to leave in the fifth after taking a line drive off the ankle, but the Twins say it's only a bruise.

If you have a ticket to tonight’s Wild-Oilers game at the X, you might see history. Minnesota could set a franchise record for most consecutive losses at nine. The streak hit eight last night in a shootout loss in Nashville.

After going winless in his first 17 big league starts, Liam Hendriks finally earned a win as he led the Twins over the Indians, 6-4 Wednesday night. Hendriks held Cleveland to two runs and two hits over six innings.

Great day at the ballpark, but another dreary loss for the Twins. This time, starter Jason Marquis gave up three fifth-inning solo homers to the Indians en route to a 5-0 loss.
