Twins' woes now include pitching coach suspension

The Minnesota Twins begin a three-game series Friday night in Seattle. It will be their first game with Eric Rasmussen as the acting pitching coach.

On Thursday, the team suspended pitching coach Neil Allen after he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.

It's the latest bad news for the Twins who currently have the worst record in Major League Baseball.

MPR's Phil Picardi spoke with Howard Sinker, a digital sports editor for the Star Tribune, about the Twins' woes.
