August 25, 2011 – The Twins were shut out by the Yankees in Target Field on Sunday and then lost three straight games to the Orioles at Target Field, by scores of 4-1, 8-1 and 6-1. According to Elias it’s the first time in more than a century that the Twins franchise lost four straight games, all at home, while scoring no more than one run in each game. That had last happened in September 1909, when the Washington Senators dropped five straight games of that type. The 1909 Senators finished 42-110, hopefully the 2011 Twins can beat that mark.
