2004 Minnesota Twins season

[1] Twins pitcher Johan Santana won the 2004 Cy Young Award on a unanimous vote.

Free agent acquisition José Offerman saw a majority of time in the designated hitter spot, but hit only .256 with two home runs.

Brad Radke was the opening day starter, but he was soon overshadowed by Johan Santana's Cy Young year.

The Twins set their club record of 32 consecutive scoreless innings in June, which included back-to-back-to-back shutouts by Radke, Santana and Lohse.

Juan Rincón and J. C. Romero continued playing as excellent set-up men, while the rest of the bullpen was weaker.

Santana finished the year with 13 straight wins without a loss, then went 1-0 with a no-decision in the American League Division Series.

Mientkiewicz was a one-time Gold Glove winner, but his successor Justin Morneau surprised people with his .995 fielding percentage.

Infielders Coaches The Twins entered and exited the postseason nearly the same as the previous season, losing to the Yankees, 3 games to 1 in the Division Series.
