The Minnesota Twins entered the All-Star Game break Sunday having accomplished something truly remarkable, if not admirable — under .500 despite having one of the two best starting rotations in baseball.It’s amazing, really.Twins’ starters have combined to lead Major League Baseball in innings pitched (517) and strikeouts (561), and are third in earned-run average (3.68). Leader Atlanta is the best team in baseball and on a 20-3 run.The Twins, on the other hand — despite this surfeit of above-average big league starters — entered the break like a man falling down a mountain, tail over tea kettle, losers of three straight after an astonishing 15-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.“I think we squeezed a lot of rough play out of the tube on the last day before the break,” manager Rocco Baldelli said afterward.It’s a great quote, but no one who has watched the Twins play their first 91 games will buy it.
