Minnesota Twins Opening Day Countdown: 29, Bert Blyleven shutouts

The Minnesota Twins are preparing for a 2018 season with expectation after making the playoffs in 2017 as a Wild Card team. We will highlight numbers from team history that represent the number of days until Opening Day on March 29th in Baltimore.

Recently at Puckett’s Pond, we reviewed the best starting rotations in Twins history. The pitcher we will highlight today was not on that list due to the staffs he was part of while with the Twins. Individually, he is arguably the best pitcher to wear a Twins uniform. At 29 days on our countdown, we recognize Bert Blyleven and his 29 complete game shutouts as a member of the Twins.
