Oct. 10 8:26 PM PT9:26 PM MT10:26 PM CT11:26 PM ET4:26 AM GMT12:26 AM 北京时间-Mauer has been bothered by a sore hip flexor, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Analysis: It won't keep him from catching and hasn't seemed to effected him at the plate. He's 4 for 8 with a double. Mauer suffered the injury during the play-in game against the Tigers on Tuesday.
Oct. 4 1:41 PM PT2:41 PM MT3:41 PM CT4:41 PM ET9:41 PM GMT5:41 AM 北京时间-Mauer delivered his biggest hit in an MVP-caliber season, a two-out single off Cy Young candidate Zack Greinke that broke a scoreless tie in the sixth in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Royals.
Analysis: Mauer is batting .435 with two homer and 13 RBIs in 17 games against the Royals this season.
Sep. 14 10:22 AM PT11:22 AM MT12:22 PM CT1:22 PM ET6:22 PM GMT2:22 AM 北京时间-Mauer went 3 for 4 with a home run, two RBIs and two runs scored to lead the Twins to an 8-0 win over the A's on Sunday.
Analysis: Mauer's home run was his 27th of the season, more than double his previous career high of 13, set in 2006. The Twins have good reason to believe Mauer may have another big night against the Indians on Monday. The major league leader with a .366 average is batting .489 with two homers, seven RBIs and 11 runs scored in 12 games against Cleveland this season.
Sep. 1 2:43 PM PT3:43 PM MT4:43 PM CT5:43 PM ET10:43 PM GMT6:43 AM 北京时间-Mauer had two hits, including his first homer in nearly two weeks, in a 4-1 victory over the visiting Chicago White Sox on Monday night.
Analysis: Since his two-homer game in Texas on Aug. 18, Mauer is batting a relatively pedestrian .255 (12 for 47) over his last 12 games. He still leads the majors with a .368 average and has a career-best 26 homers this season. He needs six more RBIs to set another career high and top his 85 from last season.
Aug. 19 12:50 PM PT1:50 PM MT2:50 PM CT3:50 PM ET8:50 PM GMT4:50 AM 北京时间-Mauer homered twice to lead the Twins past the Rangers 9-6 on Tuesday.
Analysis: Although the Twins have been fading from playoff contention, Mauer has to be the odds-on favorite for the AL MVP award. The catcher leads the majors with a .383 average, not to mention a .653 slugging percentage that is second only to St. Louis' Albert Pujols. He is one home run from doubling his previous career high of 13, and Twins fans have to realize they are watching something truly special. "We've run out of things to say," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.
Aug. 18 10:54 AM PT11:54 AM MT12:54 PM CT1:54 PM ET6:54 PM GMT2:54 AM 北京时间-Mauer went 3 for 5 and homered in the first inning for the Twins on Monday in an 8-5 loss at Texas. He extended his hitting streak to 14 games.
Analysis: Mauer is 30 for 63 (.476) with 17 RBIs over his last 15 games, increasing his lead in for the batting title to 20 points over Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki.
Aug. 16 10:10 AM PT11:10 AM MT12:10 PM CT1:10 PM ET6:10 PM GMT2:10 AM 北京时间-Mauer had three hits in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Minnesota, extending his hitting streak to 12 games and raising his league-leading average to .378 with a ninth-inning homer, his 22nd.
Analysis: Mauer is batting a major league-best .378, is hitting .405 at home this season.
Aug. 15 1:12 PM PT2:12 PM MT3:12 PM CT4:12 PM ET9:12 PM GMT5:12 AM 北京时间-Mauer extended his hitting streak to 11 games and raised his league-leading batting average to .375 in Friday's 11-0 win over Cleveland.
Analysis: Mauer is batting .523 during his hitting streak.
Aug. 14 12:50 PM PT1:50 PM MT2:50 PM CT3:50 PM ET8:50 PM GMT4:50 AM 北京时间-Mauer homered and drove in all of the Twins' runs during a 5-4 loss to Kansas City on Thursday.
Analysis: The majors' leading hitter had a double and his 21st home run, a three-run shot off Gil Meche. He's 20 for 41 (.488) with three homers and 12 RBIs in his last 10 games, raising his average back to .370.
Aug. 9 10:04 AM PT11:04 AM MT12:04 PM CT1:04 PM ET6:04 PM GMT2:04 AM 北京时间-Mauer had two hits and drove in three runs Saturday in an 11-0 win over the Tigers.
Analysis: Mauer is 13 for 39 (.433) over his last seven games.
Aug. 8 10:19 AM PT11:19 AM MT12:19 PM CT1:19 PM ET6:19 PM GMT2:19 AM 北京时间-Mauer went 4 for 5 with a homer and three RBIs on Friday in a 10-8 loss at Detroit.
Analysis: Mauer is hitting .343 with eight RBIs against Detroit this year,
Aug. 5 11:36 AM PT12:36 PM MT1:36 PM CT2:36 PM ET7:36 PM GMT3:36 AM 北京时间-Mauer doubled three times and scored three runs in the Twins' 10-1 win over Cleveland on Tuesday night.
Analysis: Mauer probably isn't making a run at .400 this year, but he's still one of the best hitters in the game and he's heating up again, with a .696 slugging percentage in his last 11 games.
Jul. 25 12:16 PM PT1:16 PM MT2:16 PM CT3:16 PM ET8:16 PM GMT4:16 AM 北京时间-Mauer hit two solo home runs in the Twins' 6-3 loss to the Angels on Friday night.
Analysis: It was the first multihomer game of Mauer's career. The All-Star catcher has six homers over his last 49 games after hitting 11 in his first 23 games of the year.
Jul. 24 2:43 PM PT3:43 PM MT4:43 PM CT5:43 PM ET10:43 PM GMT6:43 AM 北京时间-Mauer had three hits and drove in two runs in Minnesota's 6-5, 10-inning loss to Los Angeles on Thursday.
Analysis: Mauer is 5 for 12 in his last three games after going 2 for 23 (.087) in his previous six.
Jul. 22 9:56 AM PT10:56 AM MT11:56 AM CT12:56 PM ET5:56 PM GMT1:56 AM 北京时间-Mauer had two hits and scored the winning run in the Twins' 3-2, 10-inning win over the A's on Tuesday, his first multihit game since July 9.
Analysis: Mauer is just 5 for 31 (.161) in his last eight games, causing his batting average to drop to .362. He leads Seattle's Ichhiro Suzuki by one point for the AL batting lead (.361).
Jul. 12 5:01 PM PT6:01 PM MT7:01 PM CT8:01 PM ET1:01 AM GMT9:01 AM 北京时间-In a stunning effort, Mauer went 0 for 5 and struck out four times for the first time in his career Sunday in a 13-7 win over the White Sox.
Analysis: The AL batting leader's worst career day at the plate came as a surprise even to his opponents. "I think everybody should keep their ticket because they saw something that nobody will see again and that's Mauer strike out four times," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "I'd keep the ticket and I'm going to keep the lineup card because that isn't going to happen too often."
Jul. 2 12:24 PM PT1:24 PM MT2:24 PM CT3:24 PM ET8:24 PM GMT4:24 AM 北京时间-Mauer went 3-for-3 Wednesday in the Minnesota Twins' 5-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals, raising his average to .392. He's eight plate appearances short of the 3.1 per game needed to qualify for the batting race.
Analysis: Mauer, whose batting average dipped below on June 23, was hitting just .212 (7 for 33) with one RBI in his previous nine games.
Jun. 24 2:22 PM PT3:22 PM MT4:22 PM CT5:22 PM ET10:22 PM GMT6:22 AM 北京时间-Mauer was hitless in five at-bats in Minnesota's 7-3 win over the Brewers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Mauer is now hitless in consecutive games for just the second time this season and his batting average fell to .395 - the first time since May 20 it dropped below .400.
Jun. 22 3:42 PM PT4:42 PM MT5:42 PM CT6:42 PM ET11:42 PM GMT7:42 AM 北京时间-Mauer was hitless in four at-bats in Minnesota's 4-1 loss to Houston on Sunday, ending a 12-game hitting streak.
Analysis: The Twins open a three-game series at Milwaukee on Tuesday, and Mauer was 5 for 8 with two home runs, five RBIs, seven runs and three walks in Minnesota's sweep over the Brewers last month.
Jun. 20 10:54 PM PT11:54 PM MT12:54 AM CT1:54 AM ET6:54 AM GMT2:54 PM 北京时间-Mauer has been fighting flu-like symptoms for the past week, and Twins manager Ron Gardenhire decided to rest his .425-hitting catcher during Thursday's game against Pittsburgh. Mauer was available to pinch hit.
Analysis: Mauer, who was available to pinch hit, has 13 homers and 41 RBIs in 43 games since coming off the disabled list on May 1, getting at least one hit in 37 of those games. Thursday was his first day on the bench since May 31.
Jun. 17 9:09 AM PT10:09 AM MT11:09 AM CT12:09 PM ET5:09 PM GMT1:09 AM 北京时间-Mauer had his second four-hit game of the season in the Twins' 8-2 win over the Pirates on Tuesday.
Analysis: Mauer had three singles and an RBI double, raising his average to .429. The defending AL batting champion, sidelined in April because of a back injury, also had four hits against Kansas City on May 2. He's hitting .500 (17 for 34) in his last eight games.
Jun. 13 2:17 PM PT3:17 PM MT4:17 PM CT5:17 PM ET10:17 PM GMT6:17 AM 北京时间-Mauer improved his batting average to .413 with two two more hits in Friday's 7-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs.
Analysis: Despite missing all of April with a back injury, Mauer matched his single-season high with his 13th home run. Friday's shot was only his second homer in 16 games following a torrid three-week stretch after he came off the disabled list.
Jun. 10 8:40 AM PT9:40 AM MT10:40 AM CT11:40 AM ET4:40 PM GMT12:40 AM 北京时间-Mauer had two hits in a 10-5 win at Oakland on Tuesday.
Analysis: While Mauer is having a terrific year, he must improve his RBI production on the road. He is hitting .494 with eight homers and 24 RBIs at home compared to .343 with four homers, 11 RBIs and 14 strikeouts on the road.
Jun. 5 3:42 PM PT4:42 PM MT5:42 PM CT6:42 PM ET11:42 PM GMT7:42 AM 北京时间-Mauer's tear continued with his third three-hit performance in the last six games, and he matched a career high with four runs scored in Thursday's 11-3 win over visiting Cleveland.
Analysis: Mauer has hit a stellar .436 since returning from offseason kidney surgery on May 1. It's doubtful that the Twins catcher can get to the required 502 plate appearances needed to challenge for not only the AL batting title but perhaps the first .400 season since 1941.
Jun. 3 12:32 PM PT1:32 PM MT2:32 PM CT3:32 PM ET8:32 PM GMT4:32 AM 北京时间-Mauer homered and had three RBIs to help Kevin Slowey win again in the Minnesota Twins' 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.
Analysis: Mauer, who is hitting .431, attempted to explain why he has 12 homers in 102 at-bats - one shy of his career high, set when he had 521 at-bats in 2006. "I don't know. I'm not really changing anything, my approach or anything," Mauer said. "I just try to hit the ball hard somewhere and they're starting to fly over the fence."
May 30 11:40 AM PT12:40 PM MT1:40 PM CT2:40 PM ET7:40 PM GMT3:40 AM 北京时间-Mauer had three hits Friday in a 5-3 loss to the Rays.
Analysis: Mauer had been in a minor slump - for him - with two hits in 11 at-bats, but appears to be back on track now. he is hitting .417 for the season.
May 26 12:39 PM PT1:39 PM MT2:39 PM CT3:39 PM ET8:39 PM GMT4:39 AM 北京时间-Mauer was out of the starting lineup Monday, but he still homered, hitting a two-run, pinch-hit shot in the ninth inning of Minnesota's 6-5 loss to Boston.
Analysis: Mauer's absurd home run binge simply rolls on. He has homered in three straight games and now has 11 - two off his career high. He has done all this in 81 at-bats.
May 25 12:27 PM PT1:27 PM MT2:27 PM CT3:27 PM ET8:27 PM GMT4:27 AM 北京时间-Mauer is hitting .438 and averaging a home run for every eight at-bats, but Twins manager Ron Gardenhire gave the Minnesota catcher a needed rest for Monday's game against Boston.
Analysis: Mauer was hit by a pitch on the right wrist in Sunday night's game against Milwaukee, but this rest was more about general soreness from catching. Minnesota is in a stretch of 20 games without a day off, with the next break on June 1. Since coming off the disabled list on May 1, Mauer has either been the catcher or the designated hitter in all but two games.
May 24 11:16 AM PT12:16 PM MT1:16 PM CT2:16 PM ET7:16 PM GMT3:16 AM 北京时间-Mauer went 3 for 3 with a homer and two RBIs in Saturday's 6-2 win over MIlwaukee.
Analysis: Mauer ahs hit safely in 15 in his last 16 games. He is batting .433 with eight homers and 25 RBIs during this stretch.
May 22 11:51 AM PT12:51 PM MT1:51 PM CT2:51 PM ET7:51 PM GMT3:51 AM 北京时间-Mauer hit his second career grand slam, two doubles and drove in a career-high six runs in the Twins' 20-1 rout at the Chicago White Sox on Thursday.
Analysis: Mauer, who has a 14-game hit streak, has batted .417 with eight home runs and 26 RBIs in 19 games since recovering from offseason kidney surgery.
May 20 11:06 AM PT12:06 PM MT1:06 PM CT2:06 PM ET7:06 PM GMT3:06 AM 北京时间-Mauer ripped his seventh homer in 17 games for the Twins in their 6-2 loss to the White Sox on Tuesday, extending his hit streak to 12 games.
Analysis: Mauer's home run pace is becoming somewhat bizarre. He had seven homers in 406 at-bats in 2007 and just nine homers in 536 at-bats last year. This season, it has taken him 64 at-bats to get to seven, and he appears to have added power while recovering from lower back problems.
May 17 11:09 AM PT12:09 PM MT1:09 PM CT2:09 PM ET7:09 PM GMT3:09 AM 北京时间-Mauer homered for the second straight game - a solo shot in the fourth inning of Saturday's 6-4 loss in 11 innings to the host New York Yankees.
Analysis: Mauer also extended his hitting streak to nine games and is batting .421 with six homers and 16 RBIs in 14 games this season.
May 13 11:18 AM PT12:18 PM MT1:18 PM CT2:18 PM ET7:18 PM GMT3:18 AM 北京时间-Mauer hit a two-run home run in the third inning of the Twins' 6-2 victory over Detroit on Tuesday night, part of a 2-for-3 day.
Analysis: Mauer has returned from injury with a power surge. He homered on his first swing of the season and has four in 10 games. It took him 78 games to hit four homers last year. "He's driving it right now. The ball's jumping off his bat," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.
May 10 9:47 AM PT10:47 AM MT11:47 AM CT12:47 PM ET5:47 PM GMT1:47 AM 北京时间-Mauer and Justin Morneau hit back-to-back homers for the second straight night and Minnesota roughed up Seattle ace Felix Hernandez in a 9-6 victory over the Mariners on Saturday.
Analysis: Mauer had two hits and three RBIs and has shown uncharacteristic power since his return from injury. Most Mauer owners probably drafted him for batting average - he's hitting .483 - but no one will complain about the longballs.
May 9 10:19 AM PT11:19 AM MT12:19 PM CT1:19 PM ET6:19 PM GMT2:19 AM 北京时间-Mauer went 2 for 5 with a homer in Friday's 11-0 win over Seattle.
Analysis: Mauer is batting .462 (12 for 26) with two home runs and six RBIs in seven games this season.
May 8 12:02 PM PT1:02 PM MT2:02 PM CT3:02 PM ET8:02 PM GMT4:02 AM 北京时间-Mauer went 3 for 4 with an RBi in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: Mauer is batting .476 (10 for 21) in six games this season.
May 4 9:34 AM PT10:34 AM MT11:34 AM CT12:34 PM ET5:34 PM GMT1:34 AM 北京时间-Mauer did not start Sunday in a 7-5 loss to the Royals. He had a pinch-hit RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Analysis: The Twins are going slow with Mauer, who caught his first two games after missing the first month with back problems. he is 7-for-10 this season.
May 2 11:54 AM PT12:54 PM MT1:54 PM CT2:54 PM ET7:54 PM GMT3:54 AM 北京时间-Mauer hit a home run in his first at-bat of the season in Minnesota's 7-5 victory over the Royals. He also doubled, walked and scored three times.
Analysis: Mauer, who sat out all of spring training and then missed the first 22 games while recovering from lingering inflammation in a joint in his lower back, came off the disabled list in the afternoon. It was difficult to imagine the two-time batting champion making more of an impact on his first night. "Some guys can do it a little bit better than others, and he's one of those guys," manager Ron Gardenhire said.
Feb. 15 2:59 PM PT3:59 PM MT4:59 PM CT5:59 PM ET10:59 PM GMT6:59 AM 北京时间-Mauer will be limited as spring training camp opens Monday with the Twins' first official workout for pitchers and catchers.
Analysis: Mauer, who won his second batting title last season, had surgery Dec. 22 to remove a blockage from one of his kidneys. Mauer said he hoped to be ready by opening day.
