Six games in
The good:

• Manager Ron Gardenhire — finally — got his 1,000th win.
• The Twins have had two 10-run games. Their first two 10-run games last season were on May 8 and 13.
• Despite opening in Chicago and Cleveland, the Twins got all six games in.
The bad:
• The Twins may have scored 38 runs, but they also have given up 38, and at least five in all but one game.
• Offseason acquisition Ricky Nolasco has an ERA of 9.00 after two starts.
• Outfielder Oswaldo Arcia has missed the past two games because of a sore wrist.
• Twins batters have struck out 54 times already.
