Twins are now off to the best start in franchise history. In an interview with MPR’s Lorna Benson, baseball analyst Kevin Hennessy attributes most of the team's early success to good pitching.
As an example of the success of 2001 season thus far, Brad Radke became the major league's first seven-game winner, as Minnesota Twins beat the visiting Boston Red Sox 5-3. The right-hander improved to 7-1.
