The 2013 Minnesota Twins season was the 53rd season for the franchise in Minnesota, and the 113th overall in the American League.

Contents

The Twins started the 2013 season on April 1, with a game against the Detroit Tigers (losing Opening Day 4-2). [1] The Twins ended their season with a 5–1 loss against the Cleveland Indians. [2]

The Twins finished their season with a 66–96 record, although they finished 4th in the American League Central standings ahead of the Chicago White Sox, avoiding a last place finish for the first time since 2010. The team continued to struggle with offense and bullpen rotation, despite the off-season acquisitions of veterans Vance Worley, Mike Pelfrey and Kevin Correia. [3]

Offseason transactions and spring training

The Minnesota Twins finished in fifth place (.515) in the Grapefruit League during spring training with a 17–16 record overall (7–10 home / 10–6 away). They were 4.5 games behind the first place Baltimore Orioles. [4]

Coming off the heels of the previous 2007 season, in which the M's finished with their first winning record since 2003, the team was widely expected to once again compete for the American League West division championship.

However, standing at 57-87, their longest losing-streak of the season is 12 games, 11 on the road, 1 at home, after being swept by the L.A. Angels, Kansas City Royals, Oakland Athletics, and suffering a loss at the last homestand opener against the L.A. Angels. On September 23, the Mariners became the first club to spend $100 million in payroll and lose 100 games.
