9/08/24 Royals, Twins try to improve postseason positioning in AL Central clash. As the visiting Minnesota Twins look to avoid a weekend sweep against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon, they will hope for better results from their usually solid bullpen. Leading the Royals 2-0 entering the eighth inning Saturday, Minnesota's Jhoan Duran surrendered three runs while Griffin Jax allowed three additional hits and a run as Kansas City stormed back for a 4-2 win. "We have a two-run lead in the eighth with our two best rested and ready to go," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said of his expectations. Duran, who entered the game Saturday with baseball's fifth-best save conversion rate, took his ninth relief loss and fourth in his past nine outings while Jax, who has 23 holds, got his fifth blown save.

After a walk and a sacrifice bunt, Willi Castro made it 2-0 with a sacrifice fly to the warning track in left, scoring Santana.

8/28/24 Another bullpen implosion renders Twins' rally against Braves useless. Is bad bullpen'ing contagious? If so, Minnesota Twins relievers might want to try a mask. After rallying in the eighth inning to tie the game 4-4, the Twins melted down in an 8-6, 10-inning loss to the visiting Atlanta Braves. The problem Tuesday night was star closer Jhoan Duran, who was lit up for four runs (three earned) in the top of the 10th inning, erasing a momentous rally that saw the Twins go from down 4-0 to tying the game with three runs in the seventh and one more in the eighth.

6/22/24 Late home run dooms Twins in loss to Athletics. OAKLAND — The Twins had the matchup they were looking for with Jhoan Duran on the mound. Rocco Baldelli turned to his closer in the eighth inning earlier to face a more challenging part of Oakland’s lineup. It just didn’t work out as they had envisioned. The Oakland Athletics punched back last in a back-and-forth game on Friday when Shea Langeliers blasted the first pitch he saw from Duran for ...

In a game the Twins won 17-9 over the Colorado Rockies, producing their highest run total of the season and their most hits in a game in seven seasons, they needed an eighth-inning rally to clinch the victory. Twins closer Jhoan Duran pitched in the eighth inning, entering with the bases loaded and the tying run at first base. Duran escaped the jam with a double play and a flyout to preserve a ...

5/31/24 Opponents are hitting Jhoan Duran, Twins think it's a matter of execution. Called to the mound to lock down a victory over division rival Kansas City at Target Field on Tuesday, Jhoan Duran was greeted by a double off the scoreboard in right-center by Royals catcher Salvador Perez. “Really,” Duran said afterward, “I don't know how he touched the pitch.” Perez is one baseball's hottest hitters right now — and one of the best at clobbering pitches out of the zone — but he hasn't been alone. Dairon Blanco pinch ran and was thrown out trying to steal second for the first out, and Duran fanned MJ Melendez for the second before Nick Loftin grounded back to the mound for the final out in a 4-2 victory.

5/29/24 Ascending Twins look to hand Royals another loss. The Minnesota Twins face a good problem as they prepare for Wednesday night's game against the Kansas City Royals in Minneapolis. Jhoan Duran has collected a save in five of the past six games for the Twins, including Tuesday's 4-2 victory over the Royals. Duran has eight saves in 14 appearances this season and likely will need to rest his right arm as the Royals and Twins meet for the third time in a four-game series.

5/26/24 Twins' Jhoan Duran in 'good spot' after mechanical adjustment. Jhoan Duran questioned the pitch selection after allowing a walk-off home run to Will Brennan last week, saying he would have preferred to throw a first-pitch fastball rather than the curveball he ended up throwing. On the Twins' last road trip, Duran gave up home runs in three straight appearances.

5/20/24 Trouble with the curve: Twins swept on pitch Duran didn’t want to use. CLEVELAND – In a season that featured a poor 20-game start, followed by one of the best 20-game stretches in team history, the Twins are sitting at another low point. After a chaotic top of the ninth inning in which the Cleveland Guardians blew a one-run lead without giving up a hit or a ball out of the infield, Twins closer Jhoan Duran surrendered a three-run, walk-off homer to Will Brennan ...

5/18/24 “We Expect It At This Point:” Guardians React To Jose Ramirez's Heroics. Jose Ramirez is one of just a few players in baseball you'd choose to have at the plate with the game on the line. The Minnesota Twins were reminded of this the hard way as J-Ram hit a go-ahead home run off closer Jhoan Duran in the eighth inning of Friday night's 3-2 victory. Duran has been one of the best relievers in baseball this season and Twins manager Rocco Baldelli intentionally chose him to come into the eighth inning to match up with the heart of Cleveland's order.

Emmanuel Clase worked the ninth for his 13th save. The Twins lost their fourth straight.

5/04/24 Twins Closer Jhoan Duran Might Have the Best Entrance in MLB. Minnesota Twins flamethrower Jhoan Duran's iconic ninth-inning entrance made its season debut Friday night at Target Field. Duran, who missed the first month of the 2024 campaign with an oblique injury, had his first opportunity to earn a save at home in the Twins' 5–2 win over the Boston Red Sox. After Duran threw his final warm-up pitch in the bullpen, the lights at Target Field turned off. Duran trotted in toward the mound as a club-style song—mixed just for this entrance—blared over the speakers.

5/01/24 Twins option Funderburk, select Caleb Boushley. A day after the Minnesota Twins got a boost with the return of closer Jhoan Duran, the club has made another bullpen move. The team optioned lefty Kody Funderburk to Triple-A St. Paul and selected righty Caleb Boushley. The 31-year-old Boushley has gone 3-1 with a 4.00 ERA across 27 innings in five starts for the Saints this year, including 30 strikeouts compared to four walks. If he makes it into a game with the Twins, it'd be just his second MLB appearance, as he pitched the final 2.1 innings and got a win for the Brewers of the Cubs on Sept. 29, 2023.

4/30/24 Twins to activate closer Duran vs. White Sox. Fireballer Jhoan Duran is ready to join the Twins' roster for the first time this season as Minnesota takes on the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. Manager Rocco Baldelli said Duran likely was to be available for the surging Twins, who have won eight in a row with a makeshift bullpen compensating for not having the 100 mph heat from their planned closer yet in 2024. Duran went for testing on his aching side on March 16 and was shut down with an oblique strain. For Duran, the radar gun told him it was time to return.
