Rough Week For Molitor

The Minnesota Twins have presented new manager Paul Molitor with quite a challenge after his first regular season week in charge.

The Twins lost their home opener 12-3 to Kansas City on Monday, dropping their record to 1-6.

Molitor’s first year on the job was jarred three days before the 2015 schedule even started, when starting pitcher Ervin Santana was suspended for 80 games after a positive test for a banned substance. Then the Twins went to Detroit and were swept by a combined score of 22-1. Another expensive veteran in the rotation, Ricky Nolasco, was placed on the disabled list with elbow inflammation.

With a whopping 45 runs allowed and a mere 16 runs scored, the Twins are last in baseball in both categories.
