Regular season

[edit]

On May 2, the Twins wereno-hit for the fifth time in their history.Jered Weaver of theAnaheim Angels threw 121 pitches, striking out nine, walking one and allowing no hits.^[1] Four of the Twins' no-hit losses have occurred in California. Two of the no-hitters were perfect games (Catfish Hunter, 1968 andDavid Wells, 1998).

Joe Mauer is the lone Minnesota selection to the All-Star Game, played July 10 inKauffman Stadium. As a reserve catcher, he enters the game in the top of the eighth as a replacement first baseman and goes 1 for 1 with a single.

On September 8, the Twins retired former managerTom Kelly's number '10'.^[2] He is the seventh Twin so honored, joiningHarmon Killebrew (3),Rod Carew (29),Tony Oliva (6),Kent Hrbek (14),Kirby Puckett (34) andBert Blyleven (28). The number '42' is retired across all of the major leagues in honor ofJackie Robinson.

OutfielderJosh Willingham wins theSilver Slugger Award for the only time in his career.
