That\u2019s not always something we can say. The Twins already have secured another series win against an AL East team, this time to the last-place Orioles. Minnesota is looking to sweep the O\u2019s in this day game Thursday. <\/p>\n<p id=\"e8gQrE\">Byron Buxton has managed a home run in three straight games. The Twins have won four straight games, and nine of their last 10 at home. Royce Lewis gets the start at third today and is still looking for his first hit of 2025 after being sidelined due to injury. <\/p>\n<p id=\"p6rugu\">Keep the spartan mojo going I say. <\/p>\n<p id=\"f98vKz\">Whatever works. I mean we all know it\u2019s better than a sausage, though it might not make you giggle as much. However it might be as confusing, ok maybe not quite. A lot of people are wondering why it isn\u2019t a Viking helmet though, and to that I say, valid. <\/p>\n<p id=\"wH7OnQ\">I was asked this during Wednesday night\u2019s game. \u201cWhy do the Twins wear a spartan helmet when they hit a home run?\u201d The simple answer is: Christian V\u00e1zquez liked the idea, liked the helmet, so he bought it on amazon. It\u2019s as simple as that. <\/p>\n<p id=\"VvQOGl\">If you would like to show up to the Twins game in one of your own, here\u2019s a link to the helmet: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0868S5SCP\/ref=sspa_dk_hqp_detail_aax_0?psc=1&amp;sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9ocXBfc2hhcmVk&amp;tag=sbnation-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" has-subtag=\"true\" data-cdata=\"{\" rewritten_url=\"\">Buy Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"   alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" data-upload-width=\"1382\" width=\"1382\" height=\"728\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/helmet.PNG\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"yJ11SO\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twinkietown.com\/2025\/4\/14\/24408439\/game-17-mets-at-twins\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">For more detail you can click this Twinkie Town article for a nice explanation on the helmet. <\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"SEomGz\">The Minnesota Twins are rollin\u2019 with it on social media, despite people calling out its medieval inaccuracy.
