The 2015 Minnesota Twins season was the 55th season for the franchise in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, their sixth season at Target Field and the 115th overall in the American League. The team finished second in the AL Central with a 83-79 record, their best overall result since the 2010 season. The team remained in the running for a wild card berth in the American League playoffs until losing Game 161 (their second to last).
After seven years away, outfielder Torii Hunter returned for his twelfth year as a Twin. Lauded rookies Eddie Rosario, Miguel Sano and Byron Buxton arrived from the minors; each tallied their first big-league hit, home run and run batted in. In Rosario's case, he did all three on May 6 with his first big-league swing, just the twenty-ninth player in history to do so.
