Minnesota Twins Player of the Week: Mauer shines brightest to end April

Heading into the final week of the first month of the season, it seems preposterous to think that we are just now recognizing perhaps the most valuable of the Minnesota Twins in April but here we stand as first baseman Joe Mauer has been named Player of the Week.

Mauer continued his very strong start by going 8-for-22 with two doubles, two RBI’s and three runs.

He proved to be one of the few bright spots for the Twins who finished this week’s home stand at 2-4. During Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Tigers, Mauer went 3-for-5 with two runs scored.
