Introduction: Host Michael Rand notes that the roster construction of the Twins put them in a better spot to break their 18-game losing streak than in past seasons, while specific moves — the Pablo Lopez trade and Royce Lewis draft pick — led directly to their win Tuesday. It all adds up to a very good day for Chief Baseball Officer Derek Falvey.

11:00: Star Tribune Gophers football writer Randy Johnson sets up a daunting task at hand on Saturday against Michigan.
