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.

In the sixth inning, Ramírez was involved in a play where Twins shortstop Carlos Correa was called for being shifted to the wrong side of second base. 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.

3/27/24 Most Twins relievers were starters in minor leagues — and most would like to be starters. FORT MYERS, Fla. — Jhoan Duran finished the 2023 season as one of the most feared closers in baseball, his 101.8-mph average fastball velocity the fastest ever recorded in Statcast's nine years of data, his curveball producing swings and misses nearly half the time he threw it. But what's almost as intriguing is how the righthander's season began. "When I came to camp, I asked the Twins if I ...

8/30/23 Twins' bullpen collapses, wasting Sonny Gray's gem in 5-2 loss to Cleveland. The Twins were one strike from taking their three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians when the tying run scored against closer Jhoan Duran on a wild pitch with two outs in the top of the ninth inning. Duran's fifth blown save of the season spoiled Sonny Gray's magnificent start and sent the message that the American League Central race isn't quite over. In the top of the 10th inning, Twins lefthanded reliever Kody Funderburk replaced Emilio Pagán with two runners on base and two outs to face lefthanded-hitting outfielder Kole Calhoun.

8/17/23 Back end of Twins' bullpen is struggling. It's easy to see problems in the back end of the Twins' bullpen. Have closer Jhoan Duran and set-up man Griffin Jax run into serious trouble, or are their recent struggles simply part of life for a major league reliever? “Both have been very good for us for a long time and they'll adjust,” manager Rocco Baldelli said Wednesday after Jax (5-7) took the loss in an 8-7 setback to the Detroit Tigers at Target Field. Given a 4-3 lead to start the seventh inning, Jax got a quick out from No. 9 hitter Jake Rogers before running into big trouble.
