Minnesota Twins three key players are departing from the club after series of…

Carlos Santana speaks from experience when he says the Minnesota Twins have a tight-knit clubhouse and a determined work ethic. Santana, 38, has played for seven teams during his 15-year career.

This is his first season with the Twins, who will go for seven wins in a row when they play the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday evening in Minneapolis in the second contest of a three-game series.

“The energy is great,” Santana said. “We play hard every day. I can see everybody preparing every day. Right now, we’re playing for wins. We know it’s a long season, the thing is up and down, but right now we’re in a great spot.

” Santana is the Twins’ latest hero after providing a two-out, walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning Tuesday to lift the Twins to a 7-6 win over the Rays in the series opener.

Minnesota erased a 4-0 deficit to rally for the victory. The Rays will try to bounce back as they look to avoid their second series loss in a row.
